Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Dash Knobs
Will these dash knobs fit my specific year Kenworth T600?
Most aftermarket dash knobs are designed to fit Kenworth T600 models from 1987 through 2007. However, there were minor dashboard changes in 1994 and 2000 that may affect fitment. We recommend checking your existing knob shaft diameter (typically 1/4" or 6mm) and thread type before ordering. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN and we can verify compatibility.
What's the difference between chrome plastic and billet aluminum dash knobs?
Chrome plastic knobs are lightweight and budget-friendly but may show wear or crack over time, especially in extreme temperatures. Billet aluminum knobs are machined from solid aluminum, offering superior durability and a premium feel. They won't crack or fade but cost more. Both styles install the same way, so it's mainly a choice between price and longevity.
How difficult is it to replace the dash knobs, and what tools do I need?
Replacing dash knobs is typically a 5-10 minute job per knob. Most knobs simply pull straight off with firm, steady pressure. For stubborn knobs, wrap a cloth around the knob and use pliers for better grip to avoid damage. Some heater and A/C knobs may have a small set screw requiring an Allen wrench (usually 1/8" or 3mm). No special tools or dashboard removal is needed.
Are these knobs sold individually or as a complete set?
We offer both options. Individual knobs range from $8-25 each, allowing you to replace only damaged ones. Complete sets of 6-8 knobs (depending on your truck's options) typically save you 15-20% versus buying individually. Sets usually include knobs for heater controls, fan speed, air conditioning, and auxiliary switches. Check your dashboard configuration to determine how many knobs you need.
Will aftermarket knobs affect the function of my controls or feel different?
Quality aftermarket knobs maintain the same functionality as OEM parts. They should turn smoothly without binding or excessive play. The main difference you might notice is weight - aluminum knobs feel heavier than plastic OEM knobs, which many drivers prefer. Make sure to push new knobs fully onto the shaft to ensure proper engagement with detents and smooth operation of your controls.
