Great job...ford wants 238 dollars for a valence and 190 dollars for a hour of labor...I'm doing mine like yours

Hey nice thought out decision. Looks great Better than spending the $150 dollar for Tremer valance

This is a great method but I totally botched mine - did the thing where the jigsaw blade started to bend and track off unfortunately in the up direction and wasn't really salvagable. I ended up just taking it off (figured I'd have to take it off to put on a tremor valence anyway) and thought I'd try masking off and painting those lips and hardware a low gloss black and you don't even see them. Looks just fine with no valence after a bit of paint IMO. Wasn't that difficult to remove, either - there are a couple 8mms on each end that are hard to get to but if you take off the bumper brackets you have good access from underneath. Worst case if you don't like the paint you can still buy the tremor valence and put it on. Besides the looks and tire clearance it sure is nice to be able to get under the truck without putting it on ramps or jackstands.

Negligible difference.

Cool bro...watched several vids thus far, and you're the only one l've seen do it withOUT removing the valence first...l'll do mine this weekend. 💪👌💯

Agree with others. Looks great, and a helluva lot easier than removing and installing a new valance. 💪work

It's odd how many people go OCD on that air dam. I don't know how much it helps MPG. I have no desire to make my 8MPG worse when towing. I don't even notice mine. Maybe it's because I am tall and my field of view is not seeing it all the time. You did a nice job on your project.

If you get a 2017-2019 2wd valence it is about 3" and looks great on my 2019 F250 4x4

Those two hangers in the front are for assembly, they lift and lock the frame above the assembly line conveyor jig. Also they are also used to mount a snow plow on front. Helps me so much down south in 98 degree Louisiana! 😂
@deal4928 ай бұрын
If they are for assembly why does the 2wd not have them? 🤔 I firmly believe they are on the 4wd version for the most part, because of how high these things sit, so in a collision the truck will not want to "climb" over whatever it hits, say a smaller car.

Yea definitely not for snow plow mounts, that plow with destroy those little pieces of metal

So your speculation the size of the air dam for different trucks is to cover up hardware and not for aerodynamics! That's pretty bad engineering! You should do a before and after MPG test to see if the shorter air dam makes any difference!
@bubba990093 ай бұрын
Pretty sure the reason the 4x4 is taller is for aerodynamics due to the drag on the front drive components. The hardware it is covering up would be the same RWD vs 4x4. It might make a 0.1 mpg difference in the end - difficult to measure and not enough to worry about.

Swapped a 2wd valance into my 2019 4x4 f250. I lost a mile per gallon. That's a 6.2 with 4:30 gears .
@dontwantnospam5 ай бұрын
how much did it effect your mpg?
@bubba990094 ай бұрын
Yea I'm wondering the same thing. I can't imagine it is noticeable but even 0.02 mpg matters to Ford when it comes to the average fleet economy and a big piece of plastic is a pretty cheap way to get tiny gains.

1. Not enough to matter. 2. It's a full size truck. Not worried about it. We'd buy a prius if we were worried about MPG's
