Frequently Asked Questions About International 9200/9400 Sleeper Side Accessories

Will these accessories fit my specific International 9200 or 9400 model year?

Most sleeper side accessories are designed to fit International 9200 models from 1990-2003 and 9400/9400i models from 1990-2015. However, fitment can vary based on whether you have a flat top or raised roof sleeper, and the specific sleeper length (48", 60", or 72"). Always verify your truck's exact model year and sleeper configuration before ordering. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN number and we'll help confirm compatibility.

What material are these accessories made from, and how durable are they?

Our International 9200/9400 sleeper side accessories are primarily manufactured from either 16-gauge 304 stainless steel or heavy-duty chrome-plated steel. The stainless steel options offer superior corrosion resistance and typically last 10-15 years with minimal maintenance. Chrome accessories provide excellent shine but require more regular cleaning to prevent pitting. Both materials are designed to withstand road vibration, weather exposure, and the rigors of commercial trucking.

Can I install these accessories myself, or do I need professional help?

Most sleeper side accessories can be installed by someone with basic mechanical skills in 1-3 hours. Common installations require drilling mounting holes (templates are usually included), basic hand tools, and sometimes removal of existing panels. Air cleaners and larger fairings may require two people for proper alignment. Professional installation typically costs $150-300 but ensures proper fitment and prevents potential damage to your sleeper panels.

What's the difference between OEM-style and aftermarket sleeper accessories?

OEM-style accessories are designed to match factory specifications exactly, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the original look of your truck. Aftermarket options often feature enhanced designs, additional chrome details, or upgraded materials at competitive prices. While aftermarket parts may require minor adjustments during installation, they frequently offer better value and unique styling options not available from the manufacturer.

Do these accessories come with mounting hardware, and what if I'm missing factory mounting points?

Most sleeper side accessories include complete mounting hardware kits with bolts, brackets, and installation instructions. However, some accessories rely on existing factory mounting points that may be damaged or missing on older trucks. For trucks missing factory studs or brackets, we offer separate mounting kit solutions. Always check the product description for what's included, and don't hesitate to ask about universal mounting brackets if your truck has non-standard configurations.
