Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cascadia 116/126 Dash Nuts & Screws
What thread sizes and specifications do I need for my Cascadia dash panel?
Most Freightliner Cascadia 116/126 models from 2018-2024 use M6 x 1.0 and M8 x 1.25 metric threads for dash panels. The center dash typically requires 10mm and 13mm hex head screws, while side panels often use 8mm Phillips head screws. We recommend checking your specific model year as some 2017 and earlier models may use SAE standard threads instead of metric.
Are these hardware pieces made from stainless steel or will they rust over time?
Our dash hardware comes in two material options: zinc-plated steel and 304 stainless steel. The zinc-plated options offer good corrosion resistance for interior applications at a lower cost, while the stainless steel versions provide superior long-term durability and won't develop surface rust even in high-humidity environments. For coastal areas or trucks frequently washed out, we strongly recommend the stainless steel option.
How many fasteners do I need for a complete dash removal and reinstallation?
A complete dash removal on a Cascadia 116/126 typically requires 18-24 screws depending on your configuration. This includes 6-8 screws for the instrument cluster bezel, 4-6 for the center stack, 4 for the glove box area, and 4-6 for side trim panels. We offer complete hardware kits that include 30 pieces to ensure you have extras for any stripped or lost fasteners.
Will these fit both the 116 BBC and 126 BBC Cascadia models?
Yes, the dash mounting hardware is identical between the Cascadia 116 and 126 models. The difference in bumper-to-back-of-cab measurement doesn't affect the interior dash components. These fasteners are compatible with all trim levels including the standard, Evolution, and new gen models from 2018 forward.
What tools do I need for installation and what torque specs should I follow?
You'll need a 10mm socket, 13mm socket, Phillips #2 screwdriver, and a trim removal tool for clips. Torque specifications are 8-10 ft-lbs for dash panel screws and 5-7 ft-lbs for trim screws. Over-tightening is a common cause of cracked dash panels, so we recommend using a low-range torque wrench. The plastic dash components can crack if overtightened, especially in cold weather.
