Frequently Asked Questions About International LoneStar Dash Knobs
What years and models are these dash knobs compatible with?
These dash knobs are specifically designed for International LoneStar trucks from 2009 to present. They fit all LoneStar models including the standard LoneStar, LoneStar Harley-Davidson Edition, and LoneStar Sky-Rise models. The knobs use the same mounting specifications across all these years, so you can be confident they'll fit your truck regardless of the specific production year within this range.
Are these dash knobs made from plastic or metal, and how durable are they?
Our International LoneStar dash knobs are manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic with a chrome-plated finish or anodized aluminum, depending on the style you choose. The ABS plastic versions are reinforced with internal metal threading to prevent stripping, while the aluminum versions are CNC-machined from solid billet. Both materials are designed to withstand the temperature extremes and vibrations common in commercial trucking applications without cracking, fading, or loosening over time.
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 dash knobs simply pull off or unscrew from their posts - no special tools required. Some models may require a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the old knob. The new knobs either push on firmly or thread onto the existing posts. We recommend checking that your dash control posts are clean and undamaged before installation for the best fit.
What styles and finishes are available for LoneStar dash knobs?
We offer several styles including smooth chrome, knurled chrome, colored anodized aluminum (red, blue, black), and custom engraved options. The most popular choices are the classic chrome dome style and the aggressive knurled grip design. Some knobs feature LED backlighting that connects to your existing dash illumination. All finishes are tested to resist UV fading and maintain their appearance even with daily use.
Will aftermarket dash knobs affect my truck's warranty or cause any electrical issues?
Our dash knobs are purely cosmetic upgrades that don't interfere with any electrical systems or control functions. They use the same mounting points and mechanisms as factory knobs, simply replacing the outer aesthetic component. Installing these knobs will not void your warranty as they don't modify any mechanical or electrical systems. However, we always recommend keeping your original knobs in case you need warranty service and want to return the truck to stock appearance.
