Truck Aerodynamics - cost effective mods?
Hi guys!
First posting on these forums, but i've been reading them a good bit last couple years!
I currently have a GAS HOG. 2005 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab V8 4x4. I use EVERY aspect of this truck to it's fullest and my only other option really was to go with a full size truck, but they were all a good $5-10k more than I bought this when I have the 4x4 and quad cab. I'm not here to argue about my vehicle choice... only to make it better!!!
I have a thread on a dodge forums that follows my progress of moving up from 15 mpg, but i can't link it yet - i will when I have more than 5 posts!
As for my FIRST aero mods, I'm looking at an air dam/chin spoiler, BUT, I wonder if a belly-pan would be more effective?
Air dam would lessen the air under the truck, but the belly pan would smooth it out.
The first part of the pan I would do would only be the first 2 feet under the front of the truck, so would it be worth it compared to the air dam?
Ok, and after I do that.... I need a next aero mod!!!!!
