International DuraStar Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About International DuraStar Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

What is included in this category?

This category covers air tanks for International DuraStar trucks along with the components used to install and secure them, including air tank wraps (protective covers), mounting brackets, and straps. These parts work together to hold and protect the air tanks that store compressed air for your truck's braking and accessory systems.

Will these air tanks and mounting components fit my specific DuraStar model and year?

International DuraStar trucks were produced across multiple model years and configurations, so tank size, mounting bracket design, and wrap dimensions can vary. Always check the product listing for specific fitment details, and compare measurements or part numbers against your existing setup or your truck's specifications before ordering. If you're unsure, reach out to our team with your VIN or model year so we can help confirm compatibility.

What is an air tank wrap, and do I actually need one?

An air tank wrap is a decorative and protective cover that fits around the exterior of the air tank. While not required for the tank to function, wraps help shield the tank from road debris, corrosion, and general wear, while also giving your truck a cleaner, more finished look. Many owners add them for both durability and appearance.

What materials and finishes are available for air tanks, wraps, and mounts?

Air tanks are typically constructed from steel or aluminum, each offering different durability and weight characteristics. Wraps and mounting hardware are commonly available in stainless steel or aluminum with finishes ranging from brushed to polished chrome-like shine. Choosing the right material often comes down to balancing corrosion resistance, weight, and the look you want for your rig.

Can I install these parts myself, or should I have a professional do it?

Basic wraps and cosmetic mounting hardware are generally straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools and can often be installed at home. However, because air tanks are part of your truck's air brake system, replacing or remounting a tank itself should be done carefully, and if you're not experienced working with air brake components, we recommend having a qualified technician handle the installation to ensure everything is properly sealed and secured.
