Just a couple pictures of my Air Dam removed ( Before and After ). I'll be watching my MPG. Next week I'm doing a 2 inch level. Christmas 275/65R18 Falkin Wildpeaks..Looks much different with it removed though.

I was thinking of doing this to mine. I have a 2.5" level on the front and it just looks so good without the air dam because you can see the suspension better. I am curious on if MPG will drop drastically or if it will have different handling when its windy.

How difficult was it to remove the dam?

It's like 12, 10mm bolts and it slips off.

 

Personally it looks too bare and too unfinished without it from certain angles. I always found trimming it looked better (fill in the dips of the bumper with the valence, trim the excess)

Yeah, it’s really easy to remove. I agree that trimming it does look better in many situations. I don’t like the way that the center section hangs down and looks like buck teeth from the side.

exactly. I had the sierra before my Silverado and I grew to hate that bumper shape. The valence on a Silverado is much less noticing and bulky - although I did have to zip off 2 bolts.

Doesn't the Chevy have a  little different profile. I think the GMC looks good without it at all..

If I had to do any changes to my valance I would also trim it. Not a big fan of removing it completely.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
