Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC112 Dash Knobs
What years and models are these dash knobs compatible with?
These dash knobs are specifically designed for Freightliner FLC112 models manufactured from 1987 through 2002. They will also fit FLC120 models from the same years. The knobs use a standard D-shaft design that matches the original equipment specifications. If your truck has been modified with aftermarket controls, we recommend measuring your shaft diameter (typically 1/4 inch or 6mm) before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Are these knobs made of plastic or metal, and how durable are they?
Our FLC112 dash knobs are available in both heavy-duty ABS plastic and chrome-plated zinc alloy options. The plastic knobs feature UV-resistant coating to prevent fading and cracking from sun exposure, while the metal versions offer superior durability and a premium feel. Both materials are designed to withstand the constant use and temperature extremes common in commercial trucking environments. Most drivers report 5-7 years of regular use before needing replacement.
How difficult is it to install these knobs, and what tools do I need?
Installation is straightforward and typically takes less than 5 minutes per knob. Most knobs simply press onto the control shaft, though some may require a small set screw (included). You'll need a small flathead screwdriver to remove old knobs and possibly a 1.5mm or 2mm Allen wrench for set screw models. No dashboard removal is required. If your old knobs are stuck, apply gentle heat with a hair dryer to loosen them before removal.
What style options are available, and will they match my interior?
We stock multiple styles including classic round knobs, diamond-cut designs, and vintage-style pointer knobs. Finish options include chrome, black, brushed aluminum, and color-matched options for common FLC112 interior colors (gray, tan, and black). Each knob features laser-etched or embossed labels that won't wear off. For a factory-correct appearance, we recommend our OEM-style replacement set, which includes all major control knobs with proper labeling.
Can I buy individual knobs or do I need to purchase a complete set?
We offer both individual knobs and complete sets. Individual knobs are perfect for replacing specific worn or broken controls like the wiper or headlight switch. Complete sets of 6, 8, or 12 knobs provide better value and ensure a uniform appearance across your dash. Our most popular 8-piece set includes knobs for headlights, wipers, heater/AC fan, temperature control, air suspension, jake brake, differential lock, and power divider.
