Agreed! ?

What other forum could you put "Damper" in the search bar and then then never come back because there's so many results. ??

Has anyone actually answered the OP's question with some helpful info yet?

I will answer.

@TheNorseman Since you live in Alaska and -40F is a real deal there, I would suggest you get off the fence and decide against getting a damper. A damper is in the "nice to have" not "must have" category (Sorry, Dave!). Use the money saved on a warmer pair of gloves.

Easily fixed with the optional Damper Heater kit..
Frigidaire Part# 5303918276 Damper Heater Kit (OEM) (genuinereplacementparts.com)

Damn you! For a half-second there, you had me thinking "Wait, that's a thing???"

I'm going to go open & close my un-dampened tailgate a dozen times to restore my self-esteem!

Totally agree. At -40F I doubt that any type of fluid filled damper would operate correctly, even the Great Dee Zee Damper. More likely than not, it would freeze and you might not even be able to open the tailgate.

I mean, I did say it was "NICE" to have (just not at 40 below 0). ?

Looks like the the results are in. TheNorseman’s Ranger will go un-dampened! Sorry Dave! Keep up the good work!! I’m with you in spirit! (This seems like a great opportunity to develop your own line of professional grade extreme tailgate dampers, in order to spread the good news further toward the poles)

No worries you get a pass on this one. lol At -40 that's asking a lot of anything to work well but luckily there's enough sales here in the lower 48. ?

Wait a cotton picken minute! You cave that easy? Aren’t these dampers nitrogen filled? Who cares how cold it gets! They might work better the colder it gets… ?

Yes I do! That's a lot work for a few who want to live up there with the Eskimos! ?
