Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T660 Interior Dash Trim

Will this dash trim fit my specific year Kenworth T660?

Our Kenworth T660 dash trim pieces are designed to fit model years 2008-2016. However, there were minor variations in dash configurations between early models (2008-2010) and later models (2011-2016). Always verify your truck's build date and compare mounting hole locations before ordering. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your VIN number and we can confirm compatibility.

What's the difference between chrome plastic and stainless steel dash trim options?

Chrome plastic trim is lightweight, cost-effective, and provides a bright mirror finish but may show wear over time, especially in high-touch areas. Stainless steel trim is more durable, resistant to scratching and fading, and maintains its appearance longer but comes at a higher price point. For daily drivers and work trucks, we typically recommend stainless steel for gauges and switch panels, while chrome plastic works well for decorative accent pieces.

Do I need special tools or experience to install dash trim pieces?

Most dash trim installations require basic hand tools including trim removal tools, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and possibly a 7mm or 8mm socket. The difficulty varies by piece - gauge bezels typically snap into place in 5-10 minutes, while full dash panel replacements may take 1-2 hours and require removing multiple components. We recommend having plastic trim tools to avoid scratching during removal of factory pieces.

Can I mix different finishes like chrome and brushed aluminum on my dash?

Yes, many drivers successfully combine finishes for a custom look. Chrome pairs well with brushed aluminum accents, and wood grain can complement either finish. The key is maintaining consistency within zones - for example, keeping all gauge surrounds in one finish while using a different finish for switch panels or air vent bezels. This creates visual separation without looking mismatched.

How do I prevent rattling or loose fitment after installing aftermarket dash trim?

Proper installation is crucial for preventing rattles. Ensure all factory clips are transferred to new pieces and aren't damaged during removal. For pieces that seem loose, add small strips of foam tape behind the trim for a tighter fit. Double-check that all mounting tabs are fully seated - you should hear a distinct click when properly installed. If rattling persists, inspect for broken mounting points that may need repair with automotive adhesive.
