My 2003 truck is rusting

Here we go again :)))

The rear flaps on my dakota made the wheel wells rust.The flap on the driver side fell off early on two years later the well on the passenger side was almost rusted thru the drivers side had no rust seems the flap caused more water & road salt spray to rust the well.Your better off without the flaps JMHO DAK 94

Dale, I said factory flaps, not factory installed. I installed them and simply followed the directions that came with them. I have an '04 3500 dually with the Cummins. There are no holes in the sheet metal front or back. I believe I still have the installation directions. I will look for them and make copies if you like, but these are Dodge rubber mud flaps. Now, I also have a set new in the box of Husky brand that I bought and I'll give them away free because of the same problem. Steve

Oh, ok, have to check out the duallys. I had gotten factory flaps, they were the moulded ones, not the flat black rubber ones. They have the ram head logo on them and they were in the Dodge asseriories brochure. They had to have holes drilled to be screwed. Two holes on the painted surface drilled and couple holes drilled into inside black plastic liners. That's ok, don't bother looking. I will use the same flaps because the holes are already drilled. When I get the truck painted, the holes will be not a problem.

LOL, thanks Dale.
