Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T660 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

What year models of Kenworth T660 are these air tanks compatible with?

Our air tanks and mounting hardware are designed to fit Kenworth T660 models from 2008 through 2016. While the mounting points remained consistent throughout production, we recommend verifying your specific frame rail configuration before ordering. Models with aftermarket modifications or custom wheelbases may require additional mounting brackets or adjustments during installation.

Are these air tanks DOT approved and what's the difference between steel and aluminum options?

Yes, all air tanks we carry meet DOT specifications and are stamped with proper certification markings. Steel tanks are more economical and highly durable but add more weight to your truck. Aluminum tanks cost approximately 40-60% more but reduce weight by about 50-70 pounds per tank, improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity. Both materials offer the same pressure ratings and performance - the choice typically comes down to weight considerations and budget.

How difficult is it to install air tank wraps, and will they damage my existing tank finish?

Air tank wraps are designed for straightforward installation that typically takes 30-45 minutes per tank. The wraps use high-quality adhesive that bonds securely without damaging factory paint or powder coating when removed properly. Clean the tank surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, apply in temperatures above 60?F, and use a heat gun to ensure proper adhesion around curves. Most drivers complete the installation without professional help using basic hand tools.

What mounting hardware is included, and what additional parts might I need?

Standard mounting kits include grade 8 bolts, heavy-duty brackets, rubber isolators, and mounting straps rated for the tank size. However, you may need additional items depending on your setup: longer bolts for aftermarket frame rails, extra brackets for relocated tanks, or new air lines if changing tank positions. Trucks with air ride suspensions or auxiliary air systems often require specific fittings not included in basic kits.

Will polished stainless wraps show water spots and require special maintenance?

Polished stainless steel wraps do show water spots and fingerprints more readily than brushed or painted finishes. To maintain their mirror-like appearance, wipe them down weekly with a microfiber cloth and stainless steel cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. Many drivers prefer brushed stainless for easier maintenance, though it provides a more subdued appearance. Both finishes offer excellent corrosion resistance and typically last 5-7 years under normal highway conditions.
