I have been putting off installing an air dam for a long time. Its one of the solutions to fixing the running hot while going up hill in 100'F+ temperatures.

I have some rust over the wheel wells. When I repair it I was going to stretch the body lower over the wheels a little bit.
I don't really care for belly pans. It seems an air dam and side skirts give about 75% of the benifet of a belly pan will see for about 10% of the work and materials.
