Ran over a mattress two weeks. it took out the black plastic wind deflector under the bumper. Did not seem like a problem until I hit the highway this weekend. Now I am getting all kinds of road noise when at highway speeds.
a. does the deflector take out that much noise?
b. where can I find a new one?

Never noticed the wind noise when I ripped mine off. But then thats what the stereo is for right? Ford, and JBG are two sources. JCWhitney may be another.

Was yours with or without the fog light holes? I know there are some on ebay with those holes (minus the rivets).

It's really supposed to knock a little more air out from under the truck so more air goes thru the radiator.

Just wanted to follow up on the Valance. The valance is getting replaced but my mechanic said the front suspension/steering needs some work ( bushings and control arms ) have been knocked around a bit. Bushings are making the noise under the drivers foot while at speed.
