VICE design updated their website indicating that it will work on our trucks

I did and I did post it here however I can't seem to find it on my device maybe tomorrow when I go out to my truck and grab a couple of pictures I'll post it again

Yes it worked by me, the active grill shutters have the exact same mechanism as the EcoDiesel lower bumper grill shutter. There's no reason it wouldn't work, it has the exact same range of motion... so if you trick that motor into thinking it's completing the full range of motion then the CEL...

I'm not sure if I had to clear the codes or not but I definitely didn't delete anything after putting in vice designs bracket and cutting the louver to work with their bracket the code went away I still haven't gotten one. I did reach out to them and let them know that it does work and they were...

What a great argument I'm laughing my head off thinking that to assumingly mature adults are arguing whether or not "grocery getter" is an insult or not. I'll tell you one thing there are lots of people out there that have a wife that they call by the same name. Grocery getter, dishwasher...

Okay I'd like to update everyone the vice design bracket that they make for the EcoDiesel lower grill shutter but we don't have on the 1500 DT works perfectly for the radiator grill shutters on our trucks you take the AGS actuator you bolt their little bracket onto it, cut off a part off one...

I would believe that if my average temperature did not drop about 25° just by removing the grill shutters...and I did not change my thermostat. My truck is running at about 203°an the only time I see the temperatures go higher is when I'm parked then It'll go up to maybe 210-213

Anyone knows why I can't just take the motor on a delete bracket from the 4th gen and plug it in to the AGS wire on the 5th gen? they're almost the same motor Edit: because the fifth gen doesn't recognize the fourth gen motor at all so now I know my answer to that

I cleared the codes took it for a drive and it came back

I cleared codes this morning still haven't taken it out for a drive yet going to drive it a day or two and if that doesn't work maybe I'll look into this guy's emulator

I found a guy on eBay that makes what he calls a emulator for actuator motor 5877r1006 which is the motor that I have for my active grill shutter I messaged the guy and he said it would work has anyone used anything like this attached is a link https://ebay.us/m/GRKZBe

At this point of the night I don't remember if I cleared the codes before I disconnected it or after I disconnected the active air dam but regardless I'll clear the code again tomorrow and then see what happens Just as a random side note it seems that the Ford bronco sport and the Ford mustang...

Didn't do anything it's still got the code and cel

Gotcha you're saying I should also disconnect the connector from the air dam underneath but I should leave the connector to the grill shutter actuator still connected? I'm going to give that a try thank you Sent from my SM-T870 using Tapatalk

I'm not talking about active air dam I'm talking about active grill shutters I see some users were able to just zip tie the motor to the side I did that and I'm getting a code. I do not want to put the entire system back in I just want to zip tie the motor off to the side and get the check...
