Chevrolet Silverado Owner Manual - 2011
9-8 Driving and Operating
If you think you will need some
more ground clearance at the front
of your vehicle, you can remove
the front fascia lower air dam. The
air dam is held in place by 2 bolts
and 10 snaps accessible from
underneath the front fascia.
To remove the air dam:
1. Remove the 2 outboard air dam
bolts.
2. With a flat‐blade tool, disengage
the snaps.
3. After the bolts are removed and
the snaps are disengaged, push
forward on the air dam until it
is free.
Notice: Operating your vehicle
for extended periods without
the front fascia lower air dam
installed can cause improper air
flow to the engine. Always be
sure to replace the front fascia
air dam when you are finished
off-road driving.
After off-roading, be sure to reinstall
the air dam:
1. Line up the snaps and push the
air dam rearward to engage the
snaps.
2. Install the 2 outboard bolts.

WARNING
.
Cargo on the load floor piled
higher than the seatbacks
can be thrown forward during
a sudden stop. You or your
passengers could be injured.

WARNING (Continued)
.
Heavy loads on the roof raise
the vehicle's center of gravity,
making it more likely to roll
over. You can be seriously or
fatally injured if the vehicle
rolls over. Put heavy loads
inside the cargo area, not on
the roof. Keep cargo in the
cargo area as far forward
and low as possible.
There are some important things to
remember about how to load your
vehicle.
.
The heaviest things should be
on the floor, forward of the rear
axle. Put heavier items as far
forward as you can.
.
Be sure the load is properly
secured, so things are not
tossed around.
