International 9900/i/ix Air Tanks-Wraps-Mount

Frequently Asked Questions About International 9900/i/ix Air Tanks-Wraps-Mount

What exactly is included in this category?

This category covers the air tank components for International 9900, 9900i, and 9900ix models, including the air tanks themselves, the decorative wraps or covers that fit around the tanks, and the mounting brackets or straps used to secure the tanks to the frame rail. Depending on the specific product you choose, you may be purchasing just the wrap, just the mounting hardware, or a complete tank assembly.

Will these air tanks, wraps, and mounts fit my specific International truck?

Products in this category are designed for the International 9900, 9900i, and 9900ix series, but frame rail spacing, tank size, and mounting hole patterns can vary by model year and factory configuration. Always check the listed specifications, tank dimensions, and mounting bolt patterns against your truck before ordering. If you are unsure, having your VIN and current tank measurements on hand will help confirm the right fit.

Are the wraps just for looks, or do they serve a functional purpose?

Air tank wraps are primarily a cosmetic accessory. They dress up the appearance of an otherwise plain steel or aluminum tank, often matching the polished or diamond-plated look of other exterior accessories on the truck. They snap or clamp around the existing tank and do not affect the tank's air storage function or performance.

What materials and finishes are available for the tanks and wraps?

Air tanks are typically constructed from steel or aluminum, while wraps are commonly offered in stainless steel or aluminum with polished, brushed, or diamond-plate finish options. The material and finish you choose should match both your durability needs and the rest of your truck's exterior trim for a consistent look.

What should I check before installing a new mount or wrap?

Before installation, inspect your existing mounting brackets, straps, and hardware for rust, cracking, or wear, since a new wrap or tank is only as secure as the mount holding it. Make sure any new mounting hardware matches the diameter and length of your specific tank, and always torque bolts and straps to a secure fit to prevent movement or vibration while driving.
