I highly doubt taking a piece of plastic off the bottom of your front bumper will make your hood shake let alone make any kind of difference in the handeling of the truck what so ever. Mine is cracked up pretty good from hitting a deer, didnt do a thing to the truckas far as handleing or mileage. I know people that have them off all together, on their trucks,no difference.

 

i dont have one. i did have that little rubber flap for a lil while but when i get a new bumper it didnt come with it and i didnt replace it. i kidna liked the rubber thing though...

 

It's probably just the hood latch going out or it wasn't shut all the way in the first place.

 

Those pieces of black plastic 'lawn edging'
are so cheap and work so well as a 'bottom'
to the air dam
that automakers like Dodge
ought to design factory air dams
that are shorter and rely on a piece of lawn edging plastic
to make up the removeable bottom in a way that it can
easily be removed & reinstalled later for off-road driving
and cheaply repaired by the owner if damaged.

 

Hahaha, my air dam got ripped off one day goin muddin. I got STUCK in a mud hole and we were on our way out of the pasture and my friend noticed somethin shiny in the mud..Yeah, It was my license plate and the air dam. Haha, so needless to say it's been off for over 5 months. It can't hurt nothin...

 

hello. I am currently wanting to take off my air dam off.
Have you had any issues since you took yours off?
