Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T2000 Exterior Parts
Will these exterior parts fit my specific year Kenworth T2000?
Most of our Kenworth T2000 exterior parts are designed to fit models from 1996 to 2004. However, there can be slight variations between early and late production years. We recommend checking the specific product description for year compatibility or contacting our support team with your VIN number. Pay special attention to parts for 1996-1999 models versus 2000-2004 models, as there were minor design changes in headlight bezels, grille mounting points, and mirror brackets during the production run.
What's the difference between chrome plastic and stainless steel bumpers for the T2000?
Chrome-plated ABS plastic bumpers are lighter (typically 15-20 lbs) and more affordable, making them ideal for drivers concerned about weight regulations. They resist rust but can crack on impact and may show wear after 3-5 years of heavy use. Stainless steel bumpers weigh 40-50 lbs but offer superior durability and impact resistance. They maintain their appearance longer and can be polished to restore shine. Consider plastic for lighter duty applications and stainless for heavy-haul or frequent dock work.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for T2000 exterior parts?
Most grille surrounds, bug shields, and mirror covers can be installed with basic hand tools in 30-60 minutes. Bumpers typically require two people and may need drilling for fog light installations. Hood replacements and fender installations usually require professional help due to alignment requirements. Common tools needed include socket sets (metric and standard), drill with metal bits, rivet gun for some applications, and torque wrench for critical fasteners. Always check if existing mounting holes align before drilling new ones.
Which exterior parts are available in different finishes for the T2000?
Popular finishes include mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless, chrome-plated plastic, and paintable primer options. Bumpers come in all four finishes, while grille surrounds are typically chrome or polished stainless. Sun visors are available in polished or color-matched options. Mirror covers usually come in chrome only. For a consistent look, we recommend matching your finish across all visible parts - mixing chrome plastic with stainless steel components can create noticeable color differences in direct sunlight.
How do I ensure proper fitment when replacing damaged T2000 exterior parts?
Start by identifying whether you have an aerodynamic or standard T2000 model, as this affects bumper and fender extensions. Check for existing modifications like custom light bars or aftermarket mirrors that might affect fitment. Measure mounting hole spacing on your current parts before ordering replacements. For hoods and fenders, verify whether you have the standard or extended hood option. When in doubt, provide photos of your current setup to our customer service team - damaged parts often have part numbers stamped on the back that can help ensure exact matches.
