Default installing mudflaps/ splashguards


Got a set of used mudflaps today. Theyre the OEM molded splashguards, all four.With them came a few white plastic push type things, a few plastic black ones and a few screws.

Before I get a chance to go out & mess with it, which ones are for where? Closeup install pics.? Thanks

This is how I mounted mine. I used two of the supplied black screws and two 3/8 stainless steel bolts/nuts (from the hardware store) for added strength. The black screws are using existing factory holes already in wheel well but I drilled the 2 holes through the flap and liner for the bolts. You need some screw washers/tabs that the screws need to go into. Those can be obtained at the dealer.
Hope this helps. Pics attached.

The pastic parts go in through the holes on the far inside part of the flaps. You have to drill a hole into the wheel well liners for them to go through.

Those mudflaps look different than the ones on my '06 so I can't really help with the install. Each flap has two bolts one screw and one black plastic push thing holding it on.

That is what he has that he is putting on, they are my old ones

Two screws on each wheel well edge, one under the body (screw fronts, bolt rears) and 1 plastic push in on each flap.

I got my flaps at the dealer and they installed them for me when I picked up the truck. Guess it was my first mod. Tried to get them to "throw them in" but it didn't work.

LOL, if you would have pushed and threatened a walk out they would have done it. They are not throwing away a sale for the cost of flaps. When I bought my Hemi, after the deal was worked I said throw in a bed liner, I was prepared to fight, but they did it without hesitation.

94rt10ohio, thanks again. I guess it doesnt matter if you use the black or white push things in the front or back?

Nope. Those white ones are new, I really chewed up the old ones.
