I put 25,000 miles on my minimax last year, i wont save alot, it's about a 300 dollar difference in fuel between 23 to 28 mpg @ 25k miles ( a drop in the bucket compared to all the things I've spent on it) but I just Like getting good performance out of it

Yep, Im in Concord, come and get it and you can have it

A. This should have been posted in the Wanted section.

B. I kept my Air Dam, and I am glad I did. My truck will be featured in a magazine in the next few weeks, but per GM's request, I need the truck looking as close to stock as possible. They are requesting I re-install the dam just for the photo shoot. After that though, I am probably going to get rid of it for good (I'll soon be far enough from stock this won't be an option.) and if you were closer, it'd be yours.

At least you will be able to get one for free from another owner local to you, since these things have no value.

Mine is laying on the floor in my garage, If you pay for the shipping...it's yours.

 

[klaborde]

Dang, that thing made that big of a Difference. I am glad I didn't remove mine yet.

 

[Duken4evr]

If I could do it over again, I would have trimmed mine instead. Not for the mileage, but I think the trimmed one in this thread looks really good.

what are the dimentions of it? (i forgot mine) so i can calculate shipping

 

[hack14u]

I might have to take one of these, but didn't I read if you removed the clips that it's hard to reinstall?

Yea.....Im gonna be one of 'those guys' but, Im calling bullshit on the MPG improvements.

I get the same exact MPG when I had mine on vs taking it off and adding an extra 100 pound bumper to the front.

This has been discussed for quite some time and, no one ever mentioned numbers even half of what you are stating. http://coloradofans.com/forums/169-2nd-gen-appearance-body/195442-air-dam-mpg-difference.html

Here is a guy that was averaging 19 mpg for almost 17K then removed the airdam and is doing a 1 year test -

While he still has 2 months to go, as of 4 months ago ( a total of 6 months) he states

so far there has been little to no changes in MPG's

Also answered another question on his youtube

actually 1 mpg BETTER over the past 2,000 miles. Winter is coming though and I expect to see a big drop. Only time will tell. At least I'm not scraping parking blocks in the meantime.

Go on and call it, that's what My truck is showing now in my environment with my traffic and driving habits.

I'm not here to argue, take yours off, make it longer, trim it, replace it with mesh, yeah it looks better with it off, specially from the side, but yes, I was getting 27-28 on my diesel at 74 mph with my current configuration, that is not up for debate.

I took it off and my average is between 23-24 mpg now, that is also not up for debate at it is what it is.

blame it on winter blend, or anything you want, but I know what I changed to the truck, that was within my control and I intend to reverse it. :serious:

I cut my dam off, and unscrewed the clips after, it was a pain in the butt to do it the other way i found, but my clips are intact, I still have the clips

I just realized that you have a Canyon and I have a Colorado. Wasnt sure if the difference in the front bumper would mean they had different air dams but they are the same and they are actually pretty reasonably priced. GMparts only wants $68 for one.

Roughly 7 1/2" wide(at the ends) by roughly 85"

I thought it was up the in hundreds, I might not have to bug u/ fondupot and make him drive to the parcel for me
