Hi all. I have a 2022 Ecodiesel, and I am looking to remove my fixed and active air dam.
For the active air dam, I’ve read on this forum that 2022+ trucks sometimes throw a code when removing the entire assembly. Others say it’s a “soft code”. I want to avoid this altogether if possible. I also read in this forum that the active shutters are related/linked to the AAD, and I don’t want to impact the function of the shutters if my AAD gives a code.
I was thinking about removing the fixed dam, plus just the rubber AAD dam, and retaining the motor.
Has anyone done this? Would the ECU sense a missing air dam or will I be fine?
I understand that in the actuated (lowered) position, the rubber dam bracket would likely be visible as it protrudes a bit, but I don’t really mind visually as in the closed position it tucks up behind the bumper.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
