2015 Ram Active Grill Shutter Delete for free (no check engine light)

[@patp2462]

Did my 18 ram 1500 Pentastar, runs so much cooler , oil is cooler and trans is cooler no check engine light works great 👍

[@glennpurcell5206]

Did my 2015 RAM 1500 Hemi today/ leaving from B.C to YUMA in 3 weeks.......removed 6 shutters.....dam, it actually works great!!! thank you Glenn

[@danielhundt4501]

Just did this on my 14 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi , works like a charm. My truck Stays way cooler now, down here in Tucson where it’s 100 degrees daily. If you do this take your time and be patient. All it takes is some sockets and a flat head screwdriver. Do it!

[@s3930s]

Thank you, you helped me because I am from Saudi Arabia and the weather here is hot

[@assami9736]

What it is the difference before abd after removed?

[@ryorro]

Wish I knew this sooner. On 2018 Ram with Pentastar I now run 194 degrees at 75mph with this tip. That is instead of like around 230 with those stupid shutters on. I'd rather pay a few more gas dollars a year then have a blown gasket, or cracked head. Oil and trans are both cooler as well.

[@bigsam955]

Thanks brother I did mine today and I can really tell a difference in running temperature it’s alot better

[@mikelunsford2587]

I've been looking forever to find this video. No one else seems to have issues I guess. But mine are clicking their ass off. I couldn't reach the electrical connector to disconnect the thing. But this video gives me a place to start.

[@tommensch4497]

On month two. No cel! Runs between 185 and 192 at 105 ambient temp. Make sure the motor is in the same position as you started when putting it back together and you should be fine. Also. No tune was used and I had the dealer put a 180 thermostat in.

[@johngetreu6154]

You've overlooked the secondary function of the shutters. They prevent large birds of prey from taking out your a/c condenser when they punch head first through your grill at 57mph. I'll be replacing mine.

[@antoniodavis9848]

Thanks for the video , but i have a question how does your truck run on the highway......i agree with what you said in your video can you tell me about the long term effect of this mode i have a 2017 Ram 1500 bighorn Crew cab just purchase

[@YT-glockstreamer]

How can i test my grill shutter motor if its working bc my grill shutter broken but dont know if my motor is working

[@IAmHumanJake]

Great but not what I wanted. For my grill and light bar to fit right I had to notches out the bottom off the shutters. Doing so removed the shutters bottom mounting bolt. Now it doesn't work right, check engine light. Instead of tricking it like you done I just want to remove it. Right now I have it plugged in. Is my only option is to delete the code?

[@charlessellers8509]

Awesome video. Getting the engine to run cooler means a touch more hp so anything helps.

[@doubled9376]

I did my truck plus installed a 180 thermostat but after running a while, my check engine light comes on, code P1D73, I clear it, and after a while comes back on. The 4 shutters are opening and closing as they should. Any suggestions?

[@fred.abadio]

I have the same f@$ code. What you did about it?

[@enriquecortes9171]

Tried taking it apart and aligning everything back together and it’s still there. Not sure what to do either

[@Lucidkevin1]

You have to tune it. To get rid of the code

[@cinepost]

How do you do that? @@Lucidkevin1

[@jordanpadilla99]

My check engine light came on with my 2014 ram the code saying it’s for the ags system. If I do what you did in the video and then installed it back on just like you will my check engine light then shutoff and disappear?

[@michaelkenny116]

I took out mine and just zip tied the motors there was good for couple months but now the check engine light keep coming it's plugged in correctly i checked the fuse it's not blown what could cause that? maybe the motors is not working but how do i check if it's the motors?

[@naomilazich9374]

Even better, you can cut back the top and bottom shutter fins so there almost no resistance when they shut to maximise air flow.

[@jamessalas9220]

That's what I was thinking. If the top n bottom ones need to be there then cut them w a dremel tool

[@dtaposse8858]

Great job sir,ur very smart,want my truck to get as much air as possible def going to do to my truck thx for the video

[@wendybrooks5537]

My grill actuator got broke and i instantly noticed that im burning half the amount of fuel..does that make sense

[@wt3149]

my friend,can you tell me,if you removed all shuter,radiator fan not stay on all time after 70 degree? i removed just plastics from shuter and i have left just plastic just for servo,otherways radiator fan work all time because not find stop position

[@motorcyclemaxxteam6736]

Did this to fix the code I was getting due too missing one of the bottom shutters replaced that with a different one then did the delete. Got rid of my code for a bit then it came back. Please help!!

[@skunkworks9635]

I ripped the back cover off . And all but the two center fins . Then they stop with the frame do closed . And at 90 epoxy an piece of wood to stop . No engine light after wood . They were tracing to far

What about on a 2017 gmc sierra. I wanna bypass it as well

Did you notice any difference in the performance of the a/c?

[@assami9736]

Same question

[@e5r6e]

Same question regarding the a/c

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

Just bought a 2016 focus st and i was pissed off to learn that someone had previously removed the grill shudders (poorly). There is a much larger intercooler so I’m happy about that but it keeps throwing a code about grill shudder gate A not activating.

[@keithfrank1303]

I have a 2012 5.7 will this work on my truck . I like the Idea cheap simple and reversible if needed. As well I will be removing machanical fan and replacing with the v6 unit .

[@cherokeeronnie]

I might just have to try it and see

[@keithfrank1303]

Also some research pointed at a lower temp sat and setting the fan temp lower . I have a superchips tuner and run an 87 octane tune . Stock tune can not be modified . Before I start I will check with tuner that the fan temp can be lowered .

[@keithfrank1303]

This may not work on a jeep unless a Ram V6 cooling fan with shroud fits .

[@darthskywalker2467]

I know this is an old vid but I just did this to my shutters just like you did and I keep getting an error code . I looked it up and it’s a AGS code . What did I do wrong ?

[@throwingsand]

I don't know if your check engine light came on before or after you did this, but if it did that is probably why your check engine light still comes on. From what I've read it has to move at start up or you will get the code. I'm guessing leaving the top and bottom shutters on, move just enough so the computer knows they are working. I reset my code once without doing anything by just unhooking the battery for a few minutes, but after a short time it came back on. Mine appears to be stuck open. If it didn't do it before but did after than I have no clue.

[@seatime674]

​@@throwingsandDid you just remove the middle slats only and still got the light??

[@charleslincoln5357]

Ya it closes until ur engine gets to the 210 degrees and makes the better thermostat and or e fan useless

[@jackvaniciaadams4089]

Exactly well said

[@xavierconcepcion6693]

You think this would work for me 2015 Jeep Cherokee it has an active grill shudder as well

[@cherokeeronnie]

Prolly I don’t See what not

[@eRod3]

But my question to you is. Would that work for a vehicle that is giving you a " CHECK ENGINE LIGHT " notification & the code is ACTIVE GRILL SHUTTER ?

[@JasonLee-lv7tm]

No it would not, he had no light and the way he removed the center fins the computer thinks it’s still there and working. Why would doing what he did turn off your light?

[@Daimenion]

I'm gonna try this with my Audi Q7

[@carlosgonzalez2542]

Can I do the same thing in a Nissan Murano I have the same problem.

[@JasonLee-lv7tm]

Almost looks like your condenser is leaking in video Was kinda wet when you reinstalled your grille

[@carloschavarri1156]

Hello friend thanks for your video I own 2015 Ram 1500 I deleted the AGS just like you did No a problem but after three weeks I got the P1D73 code Any suggestions? Thank you very much

[@JasonLee-lv7tm]

Yea, don’t damage or remove factory items

[@seatime674]

Did you get that figured out?? If you just removed the middle fins and left the upper and lower you shouldn't get any lights

Nice idea thx I’m going to go do this

Can i do this in a vw jetta 2016? I fixed them about a year ago but now they got fucked up again & i dont wanna spend $400 for that. Wheni feel like they are useless in my car as well. ?

[@JoseFlores-fl8wo]

Did you try it ?

[@melg7788]

I have a 2015 ram 1500. My Check engine light comes on once in a while. I thought it was because my gas cap wasn’t tight enough . Or a glitch in the system. Although I was Sceptical because when light comes on it prevents it from going into “ECO”mode. (Which I’m not a fan of anyway it’s a truck, I don’t want eco mode lol ) I just reset the battery and the engine light goes off but usually comes back on between 300-500 Kms later. I’m going to try this and see if this is the issue. I have a good feeling this has been it along !!

[@fred.abadio]

Did you solve your issue about check engine? I have same truck with same year and model. I have check engine light also

You said you don't like it so you want to remove it..but you didn't, in the end it's still there.. what's the purpose of that..

You can but Disconnecting the actuator will force a check engine light.

[@gueto70]

"It came that way from the factory for a reason." Because hot motors meet government economy standard and wear out quicker. The reason is so they can sell more trucks! Who has the higher IQ?

[@Matp345]

That's the stupid ass EPA holding a gun to the head of the engineers. All that "make it run hot" BS. No thanks.. I like all my Temps down. When your normal operation is the ragged edge of overheating you have zero margin for errors. I just did the thermostat bypass on my trans and a 180 stat. This mod I'll be doing later tonight. Soon there after will be cat-less long tubes
