Question:
The rock tamer bolts and lock nuts will tighten the assembly on the hitch, but it loosens up after a few miles of driving. Have you found a way other than torquing to spec that helps prevent this? Thank you 2017 3500HD

Expert Reply:
What you can do to keep the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches # ERT00108 from loosening up - along with torquing to spec - is apply some Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker # LT37614.
The Loctite Blue # LT37614 will help secure the bolts and keep them from loosening, but won't permanently affix them so the bolts will still be removable if need be. Just keep in mind it takes a full 24 hours for the Loctite to fully set.
