    The air dam is suppose to increase the truck's HP by 10, just like the TRD emblems everybody puts on the front grill. Common sense...

    Actually, that's your front bumper....it matches your plastic rear bumper. Removing it will decrease your life span by .0001 seconds when you have a head on collision.

    It actually opens portals to the unknown, one caveat ... it only works on bus windows.

    you're previous post, the one I quoted you making fun of, said it got better with the dam, well maybe, to be decided..

    It didn't get better with, it actually was closer to better without..

    Let's diagnose your incomplete sentence that does not pertain a subject. It being the air dam, you said the truck didn't get better MPG's with it installed, okay I got that, but your next bit says, "it actually was closer to better without." which means because you added "closer to" it is not as good without. Simple Simple..

    Rephrase your sentence to say, "the truck didn't get better mpg with the air dam, it actually was better without it." Then there is no questioning. We all know the truck doesn't get better without though, the only way that'd be possible is if it weighed a lot.

    I just got off work and bored, sorry. lol

    This post reminds me of the guy who changed his grill ( I think it was a grill ) and noted a IMMEDIATE increase in MPG, handling, and a few other things....AMAZING !! ITS A TRUCK FOLKS....aerodynamics of a brick was the reply from another guy. Enjoy the Gen 3 for what it is....an above average truck.
