Only reason I know this is because I added a mopar front plate holder to a truck that didn’t have one. Reason was so I could run my American flag plate until I got my bumper.

Gotta be proud of it!
I originally mounted the plate in the two holes in the bumper, but the plate sat at a funny angle and didn’t look right
The mopar plate bracket was cheap maybe $18 and the plate looked better in the correct spot. It did require tapping screws through the meat of the air dam
Of course all the factory flimsy stuff is trash now

FYI - My 2020 3500 Laramie license plate bracket's lower two screws fasten to the air dam
I don't recall seeing any dimples. Both screws were installed poorly. You could see where the holes where they attach were higher then the other. I will take a photo tonight.
****never mind just saw it in the signature****

I installed mine poorly as well. I missed one of the built-in anchors when I started the screw through the air dam. They function sort-of like drywall anchors but they were molded into the back of the air dam. I whiffed it when I sent the screw home but she never let go.
aren't you the same guy that told me my 6.4L didn't take 0W40
......BTW is it possible my MPG went up after I did oil change myself? It might sound funny but either the warm weather or oil change have something to do with with. I drive same route to work everyday (all highway) and for the past few months my MPG was around 12.5 and now after I did the oil change myself (before dealer did it) it went up right away to 14 -14.5. Just coincidence? I didn't change anything. Same gas same gas station.

warm weather can have an affect.

Change it again and see if it goes up to 16

Removed.
Truck to the left... air dam to the right, on the ground
fwiw, the air dam is held on with a dozen or so bolts and the bumper is only held on with 4.

Truck won't remote start in temperatures below zero
Two days in a row my truck won't remote start when the temperature outside is below zero. What might cause that? Not a diesel. I press the button on FOB twice and it blinks the first time but not on the second push. I tried my spare FOB with remote start button but it won't do it either.
