Anyone in NJ, PA and NY looking to sell their 2021 removed active air dam? I'm looking to do a project on it. Please let me know, thanks.

Im in NJ. Probably will be removing mine sometime within the next few days.

Also anyone know if their is a way to deactivate it in forscan or if there are dummy plugs that can be used to trick the system into thinking its still there. Trying to stop the system from throwing a bunch of DTCs.

Had mine disconnected for 2 months and no dash lights, from what i have read it will throw a code but only when you connect to the truck, not enough for a light.

Off topic but do you have a link to where you got your Ford emblem overlay?

Would like to know this as well, looks great! OP do you have a link for it?

I just want to put this info up for anyone plan to add the tremor skid plate like me. The listed part number mentioned (ml3z8419Baptm) is wrong. I ordered it and that one is the plain one that is for the normal trucks. The tremor is ml3z8419Daptm ordered from vin for tremor.

Did you ever get that added? How did it go?

just removed my bumper to replace the front fixed air Dam on a 3.5 eb. There is no way to remove the air dam without taking the bumper off. It’s a 2-3 hour job.

Oh yeah is it ever. There are at least two screws that did not need to be installed by ford. You have to take the actuators off too.

Correct, took off the actuators and fog lights. Was much easier once both came out. I maybe repeating the job as I just found out you can add the front parking sensors as my 21 502a didn’t have them.
