Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Bumpers
What years and models are these bumpers compatible with?
Our Kenworth T600 bumpers are designed to fit T600 models from 1985 through 2007. However, there are important distinctions between early models (1985-1993) and later models (1994-2007) due to mounting bracket changes. Always verify your specific year and OEM with our team before ordering, as some mid-year production changes can affect fitment. We also carry bumpers that fit the T600B aerodynamic models, which require different mounting specifications.
What's the difference between chrome steel and stainless steel bumpers?
Chrome-plated steel bumpers offer a mirror-like finish at a lower price point but require regular maintenance to prevent rust and pitting, especially in areas with road salt. Stainless steel bumpers cost more upfront but resist corrosion naturally and maintain their appearance with minimal care. Most drivers in northern climates or coastal areas prefer stainless steel for its longevity, while those in drier climates often choose chrome for the classic look. Both options typically weigh between 85-110 pounds depending on style.
How difficult is the installation process?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need standard tools including socket wrenches, torque wrench, and potentially a helper due to the bumper's weight. The main challenges involve aligning mounting brackets properly and managing the bumper's weight during positioning. Most bumpers use existing frame mounting points, but some aftermarket options may require drilling. Many customers successfully complete installation in their driveways.
Will aftermarket bumpers affect my fog lights or sensor mounting?
Most quality aftermarket bumpers include pre-cut fog light mounting holes that match OEM specifications. However, bumpers manufactured before 2000 may not have provisions for newer sensor systems or LED fog lights. If your T600 has parking sensors, collision warning systems, or aftermarket LED lights, verify compatibility before ordering. Some bumpers require separate fog light brackets, which we stock for most applications. Custom drilling is possible but should be done professionally to maintain structural integrity.
What's the typical lifespan and warranty coverage?
Quality chrome bumpers typically last 5-8 years with proper maintenance, while stainless steel bumpers can last 15-20 years or more. Most manufacturers offer 1-year warranties against defects, with some premium brands extending to 3 years. Warranty typically covers manufacturing defects but not damage from impacts, improper installation, or normal wear. Regular cleaning and waxing can double the lifespan of chrome bumpers. Keep in mind that bumpers used in vocational applications or harsh environments may show wear sooner than those on highway trucks.
