Frequently Asked Questions About International LT Dash Knobs
Will these dash knobs fit my specific International LT model year?
Our International LT dash knobs are designed to fit 2017 and newer International LT models. These knobs are direct replacements for the factory climate control and fan speed knobs. However, we recommend checking your existing knob diameter and shaft type before ordering, as some special editions may have variations. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our support team with your VIN number for verification.
What material are these dash knobs made from, and how durable are they?
Most of our International LT dash knobs are manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic or machined aluminum, depending on the style you choose. The plastic knobs feature UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading and cracking from sun exposure, while aluminum options are anodized for corrosion resistance. Both materials are tested to withstand daily use and temperature extremes typically found in commercial trucking environments.
Do I need any special tools to install these dash knobs?
Installation is typically straightforward and requires no special tools. Most International LT dash knobs are designed to pull straight off and push on. For stubborn factory knobs, you may need a plastic trim removal tool to avoid damaging your dash. Some knobs use set screws, which require a small Allen wrench (usually included). The entire installation process usually takes less than 5 minutes per knob.
What styles and finishes are available for International LT dash knobs?
We offer several styles including chrome-plated, matte black, brushed aluminum, and color-matched options. Some popular choices include knurled grip patterns for better control while wearing gloves, illuminated knobs for night visibility, and weighted aluminum knobs for a premium feel. Custom engraving is also available on select models for fleet identification or personalization.
Why are my factory dash knobs cracking or becoming loose?
Factory International LT dash knobs are prone to cracking due to repeated thermal cycling and UV exposure, especially in trucks that spend long hours in direct sunlight. Loosening typically occurs from worn splines on the plastic knobs or stretched mounting clips. Our replacement knobs address these issues with reinforced mounting systems and improved materials. If your knobs are loose, check for worn shafts on the controls themselves before installing new knobs.
