Frequently Asked Questions About Ford Aeromax Truck Sleeper & Related

What years and models of Ford Aeromax trucks are these sleeper parts compatible with?

Our Ford Aeromax sleeper parts are designed to fit models from 1988 to 1999, including the L9000, LTL9000, and LNT9000 series. However, compatibility can vary based on specific cab configurations and whether you have a factory sleeper or aftermarket setup. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting our support team with your truck's year, model, and current sleeper configuration to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Are these replacement sleeper panels made from the same material as OEM parts?

Most of our sleeper panels are manufactured from either 16-gauge steel or high-grade fiberglass, depending on the specific part. Steel panels come with a primer coating and require painting to match your truck. Fiberglass options are typically lighter and resist rust but may require different mounting hardware. Each product listing specifies the material type, thickness, and whether any special preparation or finishing is needed.

What tools and expertise level are needed to install sleeper fairings and panels?

Installation difficulty varies by part. Simple trim pieces and smaller fairings can typically be installed with basic hand tools and 2-3 hours of work. Larger panels, sleeper extensions, and structural components often require cutting, drilling, and possibly welding, making professional installation recommended. Most parts include mounting hardware, but you may need additional rivets, adhesive, or sealant. We provide installation guides where available, though some mechanical experience is beneficial for proper alignment and weatherproofing.

Do you offer different styles of sleeper fairings and extenders for the Aeromax?

Yes, we stock several styles including factory-style replacements, aerodynamic fairings with improved fuel efficiency designs, and custom options with additional clearance lights or chrome accents. Finishes available include paintable primer, polished stainless steel, and chrome-plated options. Height extensions range from 6 inches to 24 inches for stand-up sleepers. Be sure to check local DOT regulations for height restrictions when selecting taller extensions.

How do I determine if I need just cosmetic sleeper panels or structural repair parts?

Cosmetic damage like minor dents, scratches, or faded panels can be addressed with our overlay panels that mount over existing structure. However, if you notice rust holes, cracks, water leaks, or loose mounting points, you likely need structural replacement parts. Check for soft spots by pressing firmly on panels, and inspect mounting brackets for corrosion. When in doubt, send us photos of the damaged areas and we can help identify whether you need surface-level or structural components.
