Limited with Active Air Dam...

[Carlos.33193]

OK so I bought one of the new 2020 Limited Black Editions right after seeing it at the State Fair of Texas... I too read that it wasnt supposed to have it. But I just went out and looked and it does and it too must function because it has bugs on it. Curious and also might explain why the gas mileage difference between "Normal" and "Aero" on the recent trip to and from Orlando, Fl didnt really vary at all. And here I thought I was actually testing it out to see and yet the truck was fooling me all along. Build date 9-19-2019.

I wonder if it makes a difference for those that are Suspension leveled. My aero is leveled, but the truck won't use the air dam. Maybe in normal it will be more gas efficient. This requires further testing.

BTW , my 2020 limited does have it, in case people were still debating.

...good question, I looked at mine a few minutes ago, and did NOT see any bugs on it. But why the heck would they put it on a Limited, if it didn't need it? I don't buy the "ease of production" theory. This is bolted on, it would be easier to leave it off, than put it on at the factory. hmmmm...

been reading thru a few threads and watching a few videos.... the conclusion i came to is, On trucks with both Air susp and Active front air Dam (unicorn trucks...I have one) its likely more efficient to run in Normal mode and let the air dam drop 2.5 inch vs running in Aero mode and drop the truck .5 inches... TBD

the thing is how do you know it works ? My 2020 limited have it to but how to know if works
On normal or aero too

 

[2020blckout]

So I end up jacking up real wheels
And record a video
My 2020 limited night edition have a automatic Air dam and it works on normal mode over 35 mph
And also works on aero mode over 35 mph
So this is pretty cool
Just want to let you know guys !
Everything was recorded

Interesting, I just checked my 2020 Ltd ED, its a Unicorn too. It was delivered 01Dec2020. not sure if it works but assume it does since eveyone else seems to. Aero is on and I see the Aero indicator lights but do they mean the air dam has deployed too?

Yes it deploy on normal and aero mode

I have a 2019 Ram1500. Has active air dam. What is aero mode? Haven’t seen that

I'm guessing your truck does not have air suspension then. It's one of the positions for the air suspension.

I crawled under my front end this morning, bored from COVID-19 house arrest and I see that mine has one also...so cool! I've had the truck since November and I'm still learning about all the amazing details on this thing!

 

[Rod19]

Soooo... went out to check the mail tonight, turned around to look at my truck and noticed the air dam was lowered. I crawled underneath and looked the best I could with all the frozen snow and slush. It appears one of the brackets have broken off. Does anyone know how I can disengage it? Pull a fuse or wire? I can wire it up out of the way until I get to the dealer. I am not sure why it happened this year as I’m sure I drove through just as much slush and crap last year.

 

[INVISBLE]

Now I too am going to have to figure out if it lowers in Aero mode on mine...

Hi everybody!

I'm currently working on a project and I don't have exact information about the air dam position while active. I need to know if the air dam moves in touch with the front pumper plastic or if there is space left for a bracket to come through the gap.
I would really appreciate if someone could confirm that or send a photo or even share the video.

Thanks
