INFORMATION
Subject:
Availability of Rear Wheel Mud Flaps
Models:
1999-2000 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Pickup Models (Silverado and Sierra)
This bulletin is to inform dealers of the release of rear wheel mud flaps. The above models that are exposed to extensive off-paved roads may benefit
from the mud flaps. The mud flaps have been developed to minimize the amount of stones and/or mud, which can impact and collect on the rear caliper
and/or wheel rim.
Please advise customers that the installation of these mud flaps and following the recommended off-road driving information provided in their Owner's
Manual should greatly reduce the possibility of accelerated rear brake component wear and/or rim damage.
Install the mud flap forward of each rear wheel using the following procedure.
Important:
Always work from outboard to inboard, drilling one hole at a time and securing with a fastener. Follow the sequence of the procedure. This will
prevent distortion of the mud flap.
1.
Raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle.
2.
Locate the pickup box side panel rear brace.
3.
Remove the existing outboard upper fastener on the brace.
