Anyone taken theirs off? Will it overheat if you do?
Air Dam?

took mine off my 01 1500 and my 12 1500. Trimmed it on my 15 2500. No negative affects. Maybe ever so slightly worse mpg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's for aerodynamics, if you don't like it get rid of it.

Like stated above, they are purely for aerodynamics. Once I lifted my trucks, the aerodynamics are already ruined lol, so at that point they come off for more clearance [emoji1417]

Someone said it would overheat without it. I didn't think they were right, but it doesn't hurt to ask

there isnt even a logical explanation as to how it could overheat without that thing, all its there for is to help with fuel economy

I took mine off when I had a push bar on front, I did not see a difference in anything.

I had taken mine off, no engine temp difference but I have a plastic bumper which the air dam kind of keeps stable underneath so I was getting a lot of play in my bumper yeah I thought it looked way better without it but I couldn't stand hearing my bumper flopping around, I'm sure I could have rigged something up to keep it stable. And also I did probably loose 1-3 mpg without it
