Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T2000 Cab & Related
What year models of Kenworth T2000 are these cab parts compatible with?
Our Kenworth T2000 cab parts are designed to fit models from 1996 through 2010. However, there were minor changes throughout production years. For example, pre-2000 models may have different mounting hole patterns for mirrors and visors compared to 2000-2010 models. We recommend verifying your specific VIN and model year when ordering electrical components or cab panels to ensure proper fitment.
Are aftermarket cab panels and fairings as durable as OEM parts?
Quality aftermarket cab panels are typically made from the same grade of fiberglass or ABS plastic as OEM parts, with gel-coat finishes that resist UV damage and cracking. The main differences you'll find are in the mounting hardware and finish quality. Premium aftermarket brands use 3/16" thick fiberglass with reinforced mounting points, while economy options may use thinner materials. For best results, look for parts with pre-drilled mounting holes that match OEM specifications.
What tools and time are required to install cab corner panels or roof fairings?
Installing cab corner panels typically requires 2-4 hours per side with basic hand tools including a drill, rivet gun, socket set, and trim removal tools. Roof fairings are more complex, usually taking 4-6 hours and requiring a helper. You'll need to remove existing panels, clean mounting surfaces, apply butyl tape or sealant, and secure with rivets or bolts. Many installers report that having OEM service manual diagrams significantly reduces installation time and prevents damage to surrounding components.
What's the difference between chrome, stainless steel, and polished aluminum trim options?
Chrome-plated steel trim offers the brightest mirror finish but requires regular polishing to prevent pitting and rust, especially in winter climates. Stainless steel trim (usually 304 grade) provides excellent corrosion resistance with slightly less shine than chrome but maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance. Polished aluminum is the lightest option and won't rust, but it oxidizes over time requiring periodic polishing. For T2000s operating in harsh conditions, stainless steel typically provides the best long-term value.
Do I need to replace door seals when installing new cab doors or panels?
Yes, we strongly recommend replacing door seals whenever you install new doors or remove panels for major cab work. The T2000's cab seals are critical for preventing wind noise, water leaks, and climate control efficiency. Original seals compress over time and rarely reseal properly after removal. New EPDM rubber seals cost between $50-150 per door but prevent costly water damage to interior components. Look for seals with integrated steel cores for proper compression and longevity.
