Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cascadia 113/125 Grille Guards

Will these grille guards fit my specific Cascadia model year?

Our grille guards are designed to fit Freightliner Cascadia 113 and 125 models from 2008 through 2017. The 2018 and newer Cascadia models have a completely redesigned front end that requires different mounting points and brackets. Before ordering, verify your truck's model year and check if it has any aftermarket bumpers that might affect fitment. If you have a day cab versus sleeper configuration, this typically won't affect grille guard compatibility.

What's the difference between aluminum and steel grille guards, and which should I choose?

Steel grille guards are heavier (typically 80-120 lbs) but offer maximum protection and are ideal for heavy-duty applications or frequent off-road use. They're usually powder-coated or chrome-plated for rust resistance. Aluminum guards weigh about 40-60% less, making them fuel-efficient and easier to install, while still providing solid protection for highway driving. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion but may show scratches more easily. Choose steel if maximum protection is your priority; choose aluminum if weight savings and fuel economy matter more.

Can I install a grille guard myself, or do I need professional help?

Most experienced DIYers can install these grille guards in 2-3 hours with basic tools. You'll need a socket set, wrenches, and ideally a helper to hold the guard in place during mounting. The guards typically use existing factory mounting points on the frame rails, requiring no drilling. However, some models may need minor bumper trimming for proper clearance. We include detailed instructions with hardware, but if you're uncomfortable working with heavy components or making modifications, professional installation typically costs $200-400.

Are there different styles available, and do they affect headlight or sensor visibility?

We offer several styles including full-wrap guards that protect the entire front end, center-only guards that focus on grille protection, and models with horizontal or vertical bar configurations. All our guards are engineered to maintain proper headlight beam patterns and won't obstruct factory sensors or cameras. Some designs include light mounting tabs for auxiliary lighting. The bar spacing is specifically designed to deflect debris while maintaining visibility and airflow to the radiator.

How do grille guards hold up against winter conditions and road salt?

Quality grille guards with proper finishes handle winter conditions well. Powder-coated steel guards need annual touch-ups on any chips to prevent rust, especially in salt-heavy regions. Chrome-plated options offer excellent corrosion resistance but may require polishing to maintain appearance. Aluminum guards excel in winter conditions since they won't rust, though road salt can cause surface oxidation that appears as white spots - easily cleaned with aluminum polish. We recommend washing your guard when you wash your truck and applying a coat of wax or protectant before winter.
