hi my 21 power boost does not have the active air dam ? is this normal ?
Yes, it should have the active air dam. As far as I know the “feature” is standard equipment.

I still have my moveable part hanging in my garage
Look and see if your actuators ate still there
You can have my 200 mile one
Cover shipping
But shipping the long weird part might be pricey
If your near ..drop by

I took mine off my 24 Lariat almost immediately. All they do is rattle.. Had enough of it.

I also removed mine after purchasing my 22' new. Not worth the problems you will eventually have. My son has the identical truck to mine. 1st winter it jammed up because of snow/ice buildup. But hey...if gaining a very small mpg gain is what your after on the freeway then to each his own.

Plus it looks better if you trim the spoiler!

Standard equipment. I just took mine off to implement a skid plate. It will be for sale on eBay soon. PM if you want to get it before I post it.

Not to get off topic but what skid plate are you going with? Been contemplating that myself.

yes gold cert 19,500 on clock
Interesting that it’s preowned, gold certified but yet it’s missing a factory component. I wonder how the dealership got around that?

But yeah, you should’ve had one, but either disabled, broken, or removed

I had that was warped, not sure how it happened. Got a second one and it continually hung up and the warning light came up. I took it off threw it away and added a set of Bilstien struts to level it out . I was so tired of dealing with it. The funny thing is I didn’t notice any difference in fuel mileage. But the whistling and rattling went away. ITS A Failed peace of Junk. Just like there batteries. I would go back to the dealer and get a new one and make sure the electrical parts are still there. Then put it in your attic and install it when you get rid of the truck. It’s only a few screws that attaches it to the actuators.

Yup...what he said. :rockon:

I have (2) of them from our trucks up in my attic. Heck I'll give you a full set (with actuators) just to get them out of my garage lol. Local pick up though.
