Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T2000 Dash Kits
What years and models of Kenworth T2000 trucks are these dash kits compatible with?
Our Kenworth T2000 dash kits are designed to fit model years 1996 through 2004. These kits are specifically engineered for the T2000 series, including both sleeper and day cab configurations. Before ordering, verify your truck's VIN and model year, as minor dashboard variations may exist between early and late production models. If you have a 2003-2004 model, double-check whether you have the updated dashboard design that was introduced mid-production.
What materials are these dash kits made from, and how durable are they?
Most of our T2000 dash kits are manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic or real wood veneer with automotive-grade adhesive backing. The ABS plastic options feature UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading and cracking from sun exposure. Wood grain finishes use genuine wood veneer sealed with multiple protective clear coats. Based on customer feedback, these materials typically last 5-7 years with proper installation and care, even in harsh trucking conditions.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours and requires basic hand tools including a heat gun or hair dryer, plastic trim removal tools, isopropyl alcohol for cleaning, and a clean microfiber cloth. The process involves removing existing trim pieces, thoroughly cleaning surfaces, heating the adhesive backing, and carefully aligning each piece. Most drivers with basic mechanical skills can complete the installation themselves. We recommend working in temperatures above 65 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal adhesive bonding.
What styles and finishes are available for T2000 dash kits?
We offer multiple finish options including carbon fiber look, brushed aluminum, piano black, burl wood, and oak wood grain. Each style comes as a complete kit with pieces for the main dashboard, center console, door panels, and switch bezels. The carbon fiber and aluminum finishes are popular for modern aesthetics, while wood grains provide a classic luxury appearance. All finishes are designed to complement the T2000's interior lighting and existing trim colors.
Will these dash kits interfere with gauges, switches, or airbag deployment?
Our dash kits are precision-cut to avoid any interference with gauges, switches, vents, or safety equipment. Each piece is designed with proper clearances around instrument clusters and control switches. The kits do not cover or obstruct any airbag deployment zones, warning lights, or OEM safety features. The trim pieces add approximately 1/8 inch of thickness, which does not affect the operation of any dashboard components or controls.
