Mud Flaps

krzyabncanuck · January 30, 2005

Anyone out there know of any good mud flaps for a 05 2500 HD 4X4. The Husky ones just don't go far enough down for my liking. I've got 700 miles on this thing and already have rock chips on it, and i live in Ft. Dragg N.C. where we do not even get any snow or bad weather.

Thanks much

EBAY HAS GM MUD FLAPS OR YOU CAN GET THEM FROM THE DEALER

I purchased mudflaps from Kaydenco (Duraflap) - they work quite well especially when pulling a trailer through mud/snow/slush/etc. I highly recommend them.

Big Red,

Iv'e been checking those ones out. They are not cheap but they look like they would do the trick. How long have you had them on, if you do not mind me asking ?

I put the flaps on a couple of years ago. When I first bought the truck new, I put on just the regular "GMC" flat flaps (I think these were 18" long) and they didn't protect like I wanted them to. I went with the longer, wider, and thicker flaps from Kaydenco and they protect a whole lot better.

I'm a bit anal on protection especially given the fact I use the truck for bear and deer hunting and other recreational activities in the woods - I usually end up running on gravel or muddy roads in the non-winter months and snow/slush in the winter months. Plus, the flaps seem to protect whatever is behind me a lot better -the trailer and whatever is on the trailer (snowmobiles, 4-wheelers, etc). The other thing I've noticed is the flaps are self-cleaning on the inside. Nothing really sticks to them - with the exception of grease or somebody's gum your tire caught on the road.

For the price, you'll get a pretty thick, long, wide mudflap that is 'sail free'. Also, you'll get treated quite well by Dennis, the founder/owner of the company who basically runs his business on his own property. Great customer service - if you want a longer flap than what he offers, he'll customize them to your needs.

I can send you a picture of the flaps on my truck if you would like.

Thanks Big Red, but i've seen their pic's on their site and they look like they will do what i want. If they are that good though, I will probably put them on a couple other trucks of mine. Thanks for the replies though.
