Air dam

I recently purchased an '05 F250. At the time i didn't notice that the front air dam was missing. Does this have an effect on the cooling. If so to what degree. I live in Phoenix so summer temps in excess of 100 are not uncommon. I haven't had any problems with normal driving but it definitely warms up when pulling a 14K toyhauler up a 6% grade.

IMHO... don't think it will make that much of a difference either way.... but that's just opinion

how do you know it warms up when pulling a grade ? can you actually get your gauges to move as it warms up ??
most of ours just have a normal mode, and a high/low mode.

the front air dam was added about 1/2 way through 2001, its only fuction is to cover the crash bar that was added at the same time
