Hopefully you are right and they changed the design or something. I'll call them tomorow and confirm. AVS has really good customer relations in my experience with them.

Here are the pics with the smoke aeroskin. I was hesitant at first because it stick onto the hood, but now I wish I would have put it on day 1. I like it a lot.

Thanks for the pics. On the black truck it looks like I wanted. Low profile but tuff

Mine just came in the mail and jay15892 is right. There is about 4 ft of 2 sided tape that sticks on the top of the hood and 2 clips that mount somewhere else. I am returning it this morning. They told me that Stampede is the only one that mounts underneath the hood at the moment.

I got the AVS Bugflector 2. I was very hesitant about it, when I saw how it mounted. I don't mind the tape, but I really didn't care for the clips. I went and did it anyway. Hopefully the protective vinyl piece for the clips will do its job. I guess AVS didn't want you to have to drill any holes.

 

One thing I didn't use was those goofy "gumdrop looking" bumps! Right now the deflector isn't flexing enough to where those are needed, and I've had it in 74 mph wind.

So the Bugflector 2 has both the tape and clips?

As much as I like the look of the AVS, I would never put anything like that on the hood or any other exterior body panel no matter how stuck down it is. Just the amount of crap that is going to get between the hood and the deflector will eventually sandblast the hood from vibration…… think drop in bed liner and if you’ve ever seen what you bed looks like if you take it off……. Just my take on this!

Maybe if you never wash your vehicle. Not sure what type of "crap" you're talking about,but I've yet to get much of anything laying there.

Question you all that has had the areoskin put on do you all have any turbulence, vibration of the hood, wind noise on interstate speed 70-80?

 

 

I had a regular bug shield from stampede and it was put on by plastic snaps under the hood so they kept breaking and was causing severe turbulence, wind noise and causing the wiper to bounce around during usage.

 

Thanks for the help

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By Texasdeere · Posted

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
