Can you still reach the oil filter with the RCI plate?

Anyone have the fixed part of the air dam's part number handy?

Nm found it on parts.ford.com

Ordered both sides (tremor ver) ML3Z17626DA, and ML3Z17626AB — as well as the "rock guards w/o the drop down part" ML3Z99292A22CA and ML3Z99292A23CA. I called RTR and confirmed they'll be releasing the 2021 (probably the same as Gen 13) front skid. Should look slick and be functional off-road. I'll post pics when I have it all together.

What’s the part # for the silver piece?

ML3Z-8419-BAPTM

Went to Ford today to get this quoted. Steeeeeeep

this quote doesn’t even include me needing to repaint the piece above the tow hooks to match the silver skid plate.

What do I need to do to manually lower the inner front dam? Not removing from vehicle.

I'm not convinced you could reach the oil filter with the fiber plate in place either. I was eyeballing that when I first got it.

Has anyone been able to order the Tremor skid plate/cover and have it installed on a PB?

Loving this thread! Also want to remove the air damn and install the tremor skid plate

 

[jstulbaum]

Ya I’d love to know if we could get the list of part numbers needed to add the tremor skid to ours.

Can you show some pictures of your finished install with Tremor plates? Did you need/use all parts bought? How did it go installing on the PB?

I think we need to make Ford swap out the skid plate, since their active air dam doesn't work as advertised and their Dealers can't seem to fix it. Took my new truck in with 337 miles with the air dam stuck down, dealer had to order parts. Three week later the dealer installed all new parts . and during test drive the air dam stuck in the down position again. I've been waiting 3 months now for the Dealer and Ford to figure out how to fix the air dam. I don't know about everybody else who purchased a 2021 F150 but, if I was concerned about aerodynamics I would not have bought a truck.

Removed the 6 bolts that hold the part that drops since there have been several people with this issue. RTR (tremor-ish) skid plate on order. I`ve had the drop down part removed now for a couple of months and have not seen much of a difference in the mileage. The Borla Exhaust on order really isn`t going to help the mileage either...

Anyone completed the tremor full front bumper conversion?

I am interested in the entire lower conversion. It looks badass and is very functional as well.

A+ for such a thorough write-up and tons of supporting pics. Thank you.
