Freightliner M2 Business Class Dash Nuts & Screws

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner M2 Business Class Dash Nuts & Screws

What are dash nuts and screws used for on the Freightliner M2 Business Class?

These small fasteners secure the dashboard panels, trim pieces, gauge clusters, and interior components inside the cab. Over time they can strip, corrode, or go missing during repairs, so replacing them with the correct fastener helps keep the dash assembly tight and rattle-free.

Will these fasteners fit my specific model year of the M2?

Freightliner has used several dash panel designs across M2 production years, so fastener size, thread pitch, and head style can vary. Check the part number and measurements listed on the product page against your existing hardware before ordering, and reach out to our parts team if you are unsure which fastener matches your dash configuration.

What material and finish are these nuts and screws made from?

Most dash fasteners are steel or stainless steel with a plated or painted finish designed to resist corrosion and match the factory look. Because these parts are used inside the cab rather than exposed to the elements, they are built for durability and a clean fit rather than heavy-duty weather resistance.

Can I buy these individually or do I need to order a full set?

Availability depends on the specific fastener. Some dash nuts and screws are sold individually for quick replacements, while others may only be available in multi-packs if that is how they are supplied by the manufacturer. Check the quantity listed on each product page before checkout.

How do I install these dash fasteners correctly?

Installation typically involves removing the damaged or stripped fastener with a screwdriver or small socket, then threading in the replacement by hand before final tightening. Avoid overtightening, since dash panels and trim clips are often made of lighter-duty plastic that can crack under excess torque.
