Since lower temps = moar power :) I'm not having anything block my air flow lol.

Today my goal was to remove them while in the process of installing my COBB OEM mount intercooler. This is what I know:

Just unplugging the motor that controls the shutters will throw a code.

Removing the shutters is ridiculously easy - you don't even need to turn a wrench >> Bend them forward from the center until the right side pops out, do this to all three and done - motor is still in place and NO Codes, and cleans it up a bit!!

EDIT: it did throw a code later that evening, back to the drawing board (anyone know if the actuator for the shutters can be turned off with Forescan?)


.
That's interesting, when I removed all my shutters I never got a code. It's been a while now too.

I 3d printed a solution :D
What was your solution on this? I have had my shutter motors tied away for 6 months with no problems until the cold weather moved in. Now it is throwing a P05A1 and P05B0 code and prevents me from starting the truck unless I clear the codes.

This tricks the actuator in believing that the shutters are still there.

Anyone using one of these?
