Mopar floppy rubber mud flap product review:

mopar part number
front: 1-82207118
rear: 1-82207702
(04 2500-3500srw)

front mud flap hangs down from the rocker 9" and is 11" wide
rear mud flap hangs down from the body 11" and is 11 inches wide.
Installation is simple I had all 4 on in roughly a half hour.
There are three fasteners holding each mud flap on. There is some drilling required however the only drilling through metal is on the front top fastener and even then it is to expand an existing hole to 1/4" The inside fastener on all four corners need to be drilled and the rest utilize existing fastener holes.

These are flexible rubber and as such can flop back and forth. I haven't driven the truck yet to tell how they work.

Any other product reviews??

If you're talking about the rubber mopar molded mud flaps, I just installed them too and like them. However, there is more drilling into metal than you described. Either you didn't get the same flaps, or didn't drill all the holes the instructions say to and provide screws for... The rear flap requires one hole drilled thru metal, and one thru plastic. The front requires two holes drilled through metal and one through plastic.

???

Re:product review

the front flap has three fasteners. top one needed to be drilled out through metal to 1/4" this was a plastic screw and plug. the middle fastener was a metal screw, this replaced the existing screw that held the plastic wheel well liner in place. the bottom (inside) fastner needed drilling through the plastic wheel well liner and this was a plastic screw and plug.
on the rear, there are three fastners. the top and middle are metal screws that replace existing fasteners that hold the plastic half wheel well liner in place. the bottom (inside) fastener required drilling through the plastic wheel well liner and was attached by a plastic plug and screw.

all fasteners were provided in the kit along with detailed instructions.

I think you may have gotten different flaps. Mine were close to that configuration, but there was also one screw that needed to be installed from below that went upward on mine. Had to be drilled on the front, there was a hole on the rear. Mine are the mopar molded. are yours totally floppy, like they'd flap in the wind? Mine are harder than that.

Totaly floppy... as in I can fold them back onto the rocker with one finger.
This is both good and bad...
