Default Air Deflector / A/T Fluid

Alright boys,

I put a new bumper on a while ago (6months) and never put the plastic air deflector that goes along the bottom of the bumper back on. Does it really matter? It is sitting in the garage right now. Also bought the truck at 84k now have 93k should I be looking to change the A/T fluid? So Far I have done the diff fluid and oil changes and spark plugs. The truck has the tow package but the previous owner used it to tow a small trailer with a dirt bike. So the tranny has not been run that hard ie. pulling a camper.

Also the bike fired over from storage so when it finally stops raining the truck gas mileage should sky rocket.

If some of you could leave work early and start posting it would be greatly appreciated. Guess I will start the dormwork in the meantime.

I'd def reccomend a tranny flush and filter change for the fact if it's never been done before and especially with any towing or hauling. I'd say your not far off another rear diff change as well. Every 15kmi.

For the deflector..If your truck site high off the ground I say it looks better on. I'd say it also keeps more crap from hitting the lower half of the engine. two each his own i suppose.
