How to delete the active air dam?

Could someone kindly point me to any available YouTube videos or threads on here demonstrating how to remove the 2019+ active air dams without error codes or whatever? TIA!

Removing AGS and Active Air Dam

Hello all! Just wanted to give my experience with the new 1500 AGS and active air dam system. As some of you already know, the 4th gen 1500's also have AGS. If you want to delete the AGS and don't want to have a CEL staring you in the face, you need to have a delete kit. Well, if you own a 5th...

I doubt there are any videos out there for such a simple job. Just unbolt it, then unplug the connector and tape it up out of the way. I've removed 3 of them and haven't seen any codes thrown.

Curious, why do you want to remove?

First off it's ugly as sh*t and secondly it kind of limits my approach angles for the driving that i do.

The active air dam retracts at lower speeds so it should not affect approach angles, the fixed airdam will as it is still pretty low.

you do know that the active air dam is out of the way unless you reach 35mpg

if you want to remove the fixed air dam lots of videos on that

I can't speak for @ramhouston, but I'd be willing to bet he also removed the fixed air dam when he removed the AAD.

Again why would you do this?

The truck looks better without them, in my opinion

Most guys do it for looks. Others, who actually go off-road, want the better approach angle in the front without them. Once you remove the fixed airdam, the active airdam is then visible even when "stowed"

I removed my active air dam because it would not fit with my plow mount. About 500 miles later i got a check engine light. dealer said it was from not having the active air dam and there was no way to "fix" it without reinstalling the AAD. then about 200 miles after the light came on, it went away. this info is likely no help, but just my experience. I am not sure what the actual code was, they didnt tell me and i didnt ask. i would leave it installed unless you have a practical reason to remove it.

Front Air Dam Removal

I am not a fan of the front air dam/valence. What’s the point of having a truck with 6” of clearance in the front. Always find myself catching them on snow in the winter. I searched around looking for pictures and information around issues with a dash light if the active air dam was removed...

Has anyone looked at or thought about removing the active air damn and then cutting the stationary air damn down? Maybe right where it turns down, which would be, I think, about 1.5 to 2" removed.

There’s a video or two on how to remove both air dams. I just removed the stationary air damn to add a front hitch for my plow and it was an absolute PITA.

I thought it was pretty easy to be honest. Sure, there are quite a few fasteners, but it's not a difficult job. As long as you remove the AAD first.

Which one is the AAD? The plastic one attached with fasteners or the automated one? Looking for any help I can get to remove both ari dam pieces

AAD=Active Air Dam. Remove that one first. Then you will be able to reach the fasteners for the fixed air dam.

Thanks. Sounds like 4 bolts and the modular to remove.

it was so simple for me i broke off the servo that connects to ADD and just connected and tied it up with it not being connected to the fins and no codes or errors or issues
