Mud flaps

I knew all R/V transport companies require them when signing on but lately I heard mudflaps are required by DOT on all dual wheeled vehicles and it's actually illegal for a dealer to sell a duallie without them . Anybody know more on this ? When I had my first DOT inspection I asked the shop to install mudflaps on my 3500 but they said they didn't have time .

Better check your state and local regs as well. Som places require "anti-spray devices" depending on bumper/ fender height and how far past the fender your tires are.

Not required here either, I got a Mopar set for about $34.00 from my dealer.

Not the greatest set in the world, MUCH less mud on my 5'er with them than without though.

If they were required they wouldn't be free . The dealer would add their cost to the price .

Ok.

Although the cost would be absorbed into the price of the truck, I wish mudflaps were required in oregon so that my dually came with them and I didnt have to track down a set I like (which I haven't)
