Has anyone tried these on a Chevy Silverado 2500HD Diesel? I have a 2013 model. I'm afraid the heat will warp the mud flap

I use mine on a 2011 ford diesel (not a durmax but has all the emissions and regen cycles as the chevy), you should be fine, They are pretty heavy rubber.

I used them on my 2008 Sierra Denali 1500 and it melted and warped the mud flap. I'm guessing the same thing will happen with your truck. Good luck.

If the engine goes into Regeneration it will burn them off. It can get up to 1400° and can even blow fire out of the exhaust. I am +25 yr GM mechanic.

I have a 2013 3500 hd chev diesel and am using these. there is a slight curvature on the edge where the exhaust pushes against the one mudflap. but it hasn't melted it at all yet. I've had them on for about half the summer with a couple of approx 1000 mile round trips hauling my 30' boat and a couple shorter trips hauling my 27' 5th wheel... I think they'll be fine. hoping anyways. if I see it melting i'll rivet on a thin aluminum plate or something to that effect in the area the exhaust hits but hopefully it won't be necessary... so far I'm liking them... fairly heavy duty.

I do not own a chevy but once the flaps are mounted on the hitch the flaps are a good distance away and do not see a problem with heat effecting the flaps.

I have them mounted on a 2000 4x4 f150 and they fit and work great. This truck is usually overloaded and is off road a lot of the time. Before I installed these Monroe shocks the trailer hitch was plowing and now it stays up where it belongs.

I am not positive, fit will depend on the year span and body style changes between Chevy and GMC trucks. Bed contours on some GM models changed around 2007. I have this model on my 2006 Silverado 2500HD. Fit and funtion work well on my truck. You may want to check other web sites for applications also.

i would think so...the frame on older trucks is the same i believe...I have a 2012 GMC and the look and sturdiness is great. Also easy install...They will not work on diesels due to the DEF tank location...at least that is what I have been told.

I don't believe so. I ordered those for my 02 silverado HD and had to send them back because they were slightly different. I bought non heated ones on Amazon and they fit perfect and I am very happy with them. Be sure your year model is on description before you buy

They fit perfectly on my 02 Silverado 2500 4x4 with factory plastic fender flares, the body style is exactly the same between mine and yours. So should fit just fine.

I have six (6) of these on my 13' Silverado that I also installed a 'rolled out' bed cover (that rolls up and is secured as a 'tube' by the back window). These work great and when the clamps are not to be used the handle pops up and swings down out of the way (from the 2 O'clock of the picture to a 5 O'Clock orientation)... you CAN'T leave the handle/attachment point up when you roll out the bed cover >> by why would you want to? Buy em' -- you'll use em'.. Regards.

I have no idea. I would get a hold of the manufacturer. I doubt they will work because chevy completely redesigned the truck in 2008. My truck is a 2003.

Not sure I have a 04 Chevy 2500 and these are the best mod I have ever done. If they are anything like the front ones I put on I would say its a must have

They should. There is no right or wrong about them. You have to position them as you think will best protect your truck. I have had mine since 2010 and have had no problems. My truck is a Ram 2500 but I think they can be made to fit.

I've got an 08 silverado. Fits great. You can dry fit them before you stick them on. Just make sure you have it on the right door. Each one is labeled.

These flares are installed on my 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. They average about 8 inches out from the wheel wells. They do not cover the factory bevel of the pickup body style side. They look really good and give the truck a different "mean" look!! I have had Bushwhacker Flairs on a 1990 Toyota since about 1995 and they are still holding up very well. I think you won't go wrong with these Bushwhackers. One thought for the do-iy-yourselfers: they are much easier to install with 2 people. You can do it yourself but it will take a lot longer and some extra tools to hold them in position while you mount them!! These flares are installed on my 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD.

I used sheet metal self taping screws. the latches are cheesy, and I have problems of the opening going down the highway. I have a 2012 black Silverado and they look good. I would not buy this model again because I'm a construction superintendent and there not tough enough.

I put them on my 2013 Ram Laramie Crew Cab and they fit very well. No drilling and no hassle to put on. I would imagine there is not much change in the new model year.

I put them on my 2014 2500HD crew. The 1500 crew is a different body. I do not think they will fit.

I have them on my 2012 silverado extended cab. Fit with no problems. If your 2008 is the same body style, they should fit without a problem.
