Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC120 Dash Knobs
Will these dash knobs fit my specific year FLC120?
Our dash knobs are designed to fit Freightliner FLC120 models from 1989 through 2002. The knob shaft size and thread pattern remained consistent throughout these production years. However, if your truck has aftermarket HVAC controls or custom dash modifications, we recommend measuring your existing knob 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?
We offer both chrome-plated metal knobs and high-grade ABS plastic knobs with chrome finish. The metal knobs are heavier and more durable for high-use applications, while the plastic versions are lighter and more cost-effective. Both types feature UV-resistant finishes to prevent fading and cracking. Based on customer feedback, the metal knobs typically last 5-7 years in daily commercial use, while plastic knobs average 3-5 years.
Do I need any special tools to install these knobs, and how difficult is the installation?
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 5-10 minutes per knob. Most knobs are either push-on style with set screws or threaded. You'll need a small Allen wrench (usually 1/8 inch) for set screw models or simply hand-tighten threaded versions. No dash removal is required. The most common challenge is removing old knobs that may be stuck - applying penetrating oil and gently rocking the knob while pulling usually does the trick.
What styles and finishes are available, and will they match my existing dash?
We stock several styles including smooth dome, knurled grip, and pointer-style knobs. Finishes include chrome, black, brushed aluminum, and color-matched options. The chrome finish matches OEM Freightliner chrome dash components. For custom colored dashboards, we recommend ordering our paintable knobs that can be professionally matched to your interior. Most customers find the chrome or black options blend seamlessly with both original and aftermarket dash configurations.
Which knobs control what functions, and how many do I need for a complete set?
A complete FLC120 dash typically requires 4-6 knobs depending on your configuration: heater/AC temperature control, fan speed, air direction selector, and often separate fresh air/recirculation controls. Some models also have auxiliary switch knobs. Each knob is typically marked with its function symbol. We offer complete sets that include all necessary knobs for standard HVAC systems, or you can purchase individual knobs if you only need to replace specific worn units. Check your dash layout before ordering to confirm the exact quantity needed.
