The air dam is a black plastic piece that is mounted under the lower radiator support to direct air from under the car up through the radiator. That's where the radiator gets pretty much all of it's fresh air from, and without it, will most certainly overheat.

hmmmmm. im gonna have to look into this.. lol i am willing to bet that its not there

the air dam fell off my saturn at 110mph on 287.....never put it back on and it doesnt overheat :lol:

it might affect me cuz i have a different nose on my car than the stock one

Also, check your hoses to see if they collapsed, and thermostat, and jsut for the hell of it, flush the system to make sure it functions properly. Also check your waterpump as well. You could do the whole cooling system for under 100 bucks ( minus radiator).

She says its fine on highway, but around town it heats up till she turns on the AC.......fan switch.

I did all of that and changed thermostat.. BUT like they suggested above... I have no air dam!!!! No one has a random one laying around huh? lol


ANNDDD I gotta check that. lol

if its fine on the highway its likely not the air dam...the air dam does nothing in traffic

....................have you been to atco this year...that car looks extremely familiar and the odds of there being to bird like that with 350s and a female driver are extremely slim

haha nah sorry not me.. i just bought the bird 2 weeks ago.

wish i still had my 91 GTA. Mine overheated all the time. My cap ahd a small leak so i replaced it and that made a world of diffrence but it still ran hot. All turd gens do that haha. good luck with it. Def get an air damn and make sure stuff isnt crammed around the radiator like leaves. F bodys have a problem with that and there are many TSBs out for that.
