I am glad you have not had any issues by remove the air dam, We have had 3 truck in the shop last week with heating problems and we checked everything. We found that with A/C ON and moving in traffic it would run hotter then normal. I found that the air dam had been removed so I took a dam off a new truck and tested it and behold it was 27* cooler and with it back on. So it does make a difference I would put it back on any truck that uses electric cooling fan only, It helps force air to the rad.. I hope this helps.

 

*****....that is not what I wanted to hear. I am glad that you spoke up though. I will put it back on asap....Thanks!

 

GOT ANY PICS OF YOUR TRUCK???

 

I took some while it was bone stock...now I need to take another round to show how it sits currently. Stay tuned...hopefully tomorrow!

 

make sure to start a new thread for it.. Don't want it to get lost in some of these other ones I might not check back in to

 

I will start a new thread when I get some good shots. Here is a stock teaser for ya!

 

petersens 4wheel & offroad has an extensive build going on a supercab 4x4 offroad EB in their mag. way more than anyone here will be doing but it looks like it is going to be a sweet truck and might give some ideas for you

 

wow, I don't know if is it the angle of your driveway or what, but the rear looks really high compared to the front. It seems other FX4"s don't rake so bad??
Not doggin your truck by any means, just wondering out loud.

 

mines almost as bad. i'm going to compare my rear set up to fx4 for life 79's 09 this weekend to see if the leaf's or anything changed.

 

Well, my driveway slope has a LITTLE to do with it. But not much. The rake on my truck WAS horrible. I didn't keep it that way 24 hrs. I had my 2" leveling kit a month before my truck even came in. Check out my new thread "Ford is all I know". Got a good pic on there with the level and new tires. MUCH better. The 2" AutoSpring kit got me almost perfectly level. Very happy now!

 

I just wanted to follow up with this. I never did put the dam back on. I decided to drive the truck without it and keep a close eye on the temp, and see how it acted. I have over 1,000 miles on it now, and am still running without the dam. No problems, no issues..in traffic with A/c on. I will be leaving it off.

 

IF I take mine off it will be in winter. Don't want a hard snow drif tto break it. Plus cooling much less an issue.

 

I know the closer it gets to winter I will probably be looking for something like the BFG AT/KO that I previously had on another truck. I know they aren't available for the 20" but I'm sure there is something though.
