Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T660 Cab & Related

What years and models are compatible with T660 cab parts?

T660 cab parts are specifically designed for Kenworth T660 models manufactured from 2008 to 2015. Most exterior cab components like sun visors, grab handles, and mirror brackets are interchangeable across all T660 production years. However, some interior components may vary between early models (2008-2010) and later models (2011-2015) due to dashboard updates. Always verify your truck's VIN and production year when ordering electrical components or interior trim pieces to ensure proper fitment.

Are aftermarket T660 cab parts made from the same materials as OEM?

Quality aftermarket T660 cab parts typically use similar materials to OEM specifications. Exterior components like sun visors and grab handles are usually made from chrome-plated steel or polished stainless steel, matching OEM durability. Door panels and interior trim pieces use ABS plastic with UV-resistant coatings. Premium aftermarket brands often meet or exceed OEM standards, while economy options may use thinner gauge materials. Look for parts that specify material thickness and grade - for example, 16-gauge stainless steel for grab handles or 3mm ABS for interior panels.

What tools and experience level are needed to install T660 cab accessories?

Most T660 cab accessories require basic hand tools and moderate mechanical ability. Sun visors, grab handles, and exterior trim typically need a socket set, screwdrivers, and drill for mounting holes. Interior components like door panels or dash trim require panel removal tools and patience to avoid breaking clips. Electrical accessories like marker lights or switches need basic wiring knowledge and a multimeter. Installation time ranges from 30 minutes for simple bolt-on parts to 2-3 hours for interior panels. Professional installation is recommended for air ride seats or complex electrical components.

What finish options are available for T660 exterior cab parts?

T660 exterior cab parts come in three primary finishes: chrome-plated steel, polished stainless steel, and painted options. Chrome provides the brightest shine but requires regular maintenance to prevent pitting and rust. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance with less maintenance, though slightly less mirror-like than chrome. Painted parts are available in standard Kenworth colors including white, black, and custom color matching. Chrome and stainless are most popular for sun visors and grab handles, while painted options work best for mirror brackets and cab extenders that need to match your truck's color scheme.

How do I identify the correct replacement part numbers for my T660?

Start by locating your truck's build sheet or door jamb sticker which lists original equipment codes. For body parts, check for stamped part numbers on the back of the original component. Kenworth uses a standardized numbering system where cab-related parts typically start with prefixes like K21 for exterior trim or K31 for interior components. Cross-reference these numbers with aftermarket equivalents using online catalogs or contact our parts specialists with your VIN for exact matching. Keep in mind that some parts have been superseded - older part numbers may have updated replacements that offer improved fitment or materials.
