I didn’t like the look with it completely off so I cut it in half. Best of both worlds. Still has the finished look but isn’t dragging on the ground like the stock one looks.

I just took it off and cut it along the seam and reinstalled.

So I’ve been debating on removing my air dam for a while now and today I finally did it. I’m still really undecided if I like it more off or on. I like it both honestly but can’t decide what looks bet

Removed it from the truck then taped it off and cut it with a dremel.

It’s pretty soft plastic.

Looking at your it looks like you cut at the upper line? See my pic. You cut the line above the one I have tapped here?649908082c6d55f4668a55b5aa854f83.jpg

I cut it right at the seam so alittle below your tap line.

I'm assuming you mean above. In my picture it's positioned how it would be mounted. So I'll probably re tape and cut at the first seam above my tape line. I just wanna measure 100 times cut once.

Correct, I thought you had it upside down as mine had alittle big of a taper to it in the center.

Right at the seam is where I cut so just above your tape line in your pic and kept it the same depth all the way around.

That actually looks better than having it off I think. I might have to try to do this too. Thanks for the idea!

How do you like those ultra rims, and what size are they?

They are actually Method NV 17 x 8.5 (0 offset) with Toyo 285/70/17

I really like them and different than most trucks I see here in Florida. Everyone seems to want 20’s but if you take it off road the lower profile tire and more exposed rims get beat up.

I didn’t want to lift the truck but wanted it leveled so I did it the proper way with suspension. I have the Fox 2.0 and just added cognito UCA’s because my stock ball joints were trashed.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
