Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC112 Dash Accessories
Will these dash accessories fit my specific year FLC112?
Most of our FLC112 dash accessories are designed to fit models from 1989 through 2003. However, there were minor dashboard variations between early models (1989-1995) and later models (1996-2003). Always check the product description for specific year compatibility, or contact our support team with your VIN number to ensure proper fitment. Pay special attention to accessories for models with factory-installed Jake brake controls, as these may require different mounting configurations.
What materials are these dash accessories made from, and how durable are they?
Our FLC112 dash accessories come in three main material types: ABS plastic, chrome-plated steel, and brushed aluminum. ABS plastic accessories are UV-resistant and typically last 5-7 years with proper care. Chrome-plated steel options offer superior durability but require regular cleaning to prevent pitting. Brushed aluminum provides the best corrosion resistance and maintains its appearance longest. All materials are tested to withstand dashboard temperatures up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit without warping or discoloration.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools will I need?
Most dash accessories install in 15-30 minutes using basic hand tools. You'll typically need a Phillips screwdriver, trim removal tools, and occasionally a 7mm or 8mm socket. Gauge pods and switch panels may require drilling pilot holes - we recommend using a step drill bit for clean results. About 80% of our accessories use existing mounting points or adhesive backing. For items requiring electrical connections, basic wiring knowledge is helpful, though detailed instructions are included with each product.
What finish options are available, and which matches the factory dash best?
We offer four primary finishes: matte black, gloss black, chrome, and brushed aluminum. For matching factory dashboards, matte black works best with standard FLC112 interiors from all years. The factory "Prestige" interior package pairs well with our chrome accessories. Gloss black complements custom interiors or restored dashes. Each product page shows compatibility notes for matching OEM interior trim levels.
Do these accessories interfere with existing dash functions or airbag deployment?
Our dash accessories are designed to work around all factory components without obstruction. Gauge pods mount above or beside existing instrumentation without blocking visibility. Switch panels utilize unused knockout spaces or mount in designated accessory areas. None of our dash-mounted accessories interfere with the passenger airbag system (available on 1997+ models). However, always ensure any mounting hardware doesn't penetrate deeper than 1/2 inch to avoid damaging hidden wiring or HVAC ducts behind the dash panel.
