INSTALL YOUR AIR DAM'S! I finnaly got around to mine and what a differance it makes. Were i used to have to run the fan constantly to keep it at 160-220, now it sits right on 160 the entire time, and this is with the 195 stock t-stat. SO do it, spend the $25 at the gm dealer and buy one.

Yep, there's a reason why they came from the factory like that.

I make a point of checking mine for damage every weekend. In the warm climate I live in it is vital to have the cooling system working correctly.
