Finally got around to deleting the AGS - Active Grille Shutter system from my truck.
This system is designed to do a few things revolving around fuel efficiency. One of them being bringing the engine temperature up to the factory set operating temperature of about 203* F. If you put a lower temp thermostat in your truck for performance reasons these shutters will fight you and try to restrict airflow to bring you back to 203*.
Also I need to make room for my procharger intercooler so these had to go!
Overall my temps have dropped dramatically now and my E-Fan barely kicks on. Also I haven't noticed any change in MPG yet and in combination with some other mods my fuel economy is much higher than stock currently. (See my other videos for more on this)
Here is how to delete them!
