Hey everyone. Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I did some serious searching and couldn't find an answer... My wife must've hit a snow bank or gone over a chunk of ice or something this past winter and busted it up... I'm thinking it's the 'air dam'?!? I can't find the part anywhere online and don't want to get hosed at a dealer. Anyone know what exactly it is and where I might me able to find one (please see attached)? Seems like it would be pretty easy to replace. Thanks!!

Not sure if this is it, but I call it a bumper skirt or lower valance,
FF

 

I think front valance or valance is correct.

My wife's hasn't had hers since we bought it. If I put one on, she'd just bust it up when she goes through snow anyway.

LMC Truck doesn't have it, the Autoparts Warehouse doesn't have it (the link is just the whole bumper, not the bottom piece), and eBay doesn't have it (so far that I can find). Interesting. I will have to keep searching for this, just out of curiosity sake if nothing else.

 

Yes its called an air dam. The Mopar part number is XD14XXXAC.

 

I took mine off after it got cracked, i think it makes the Durango look better without it, and haven't seen any decline in any systems due to me taking it off. It was only about 6 screws holding it in and took less than 5 min to take off.

 

CleverDurango,

Can you post a picture of what yours looks like without it on? I'm just curious to see what it looks like and see if I would want to do it.

 

Here are some pictures without the air dam:

 

Thanks everyone! I think I'll just leave it off... I agree with Jason, my wife would also probably bust it up in the snow anyway.

Jason - Sharp looking D by the way. You've inspired me to wash the brake dust off my wheels.

 

I just solved the brake dust with Ceramic Pads and I'm happy. ;-)

Regards,

 

Uh, I could be mistaken, but I could have swore that ceramic pads actually give you the most dust.
