Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T680 Cab & Related
What year models of Kenworth T680 are compatible with aftermarket cab parts and accessories?
Most aftermarket cab parts are designed to fit Kenworth T680 models from 2013 to present. However, there were minor design changes in 2017 and 2021 that may affect fitment of certain components like mirror brackets, door handles, and interior trim pieces. Always verify the specific year range for each part, as some accessories are split into 2013-2016 and 2017+ categories. When in doubt, provide your VIN or cab serial number to ensure proper fitment.
Are aftermarket cab fairings and extenders made from the same materials as OEM parts?
Quality aftermarket cab fairings and extenders are typically made from either ABS plastic or fiberglass, similar to OEM specifications. ABS plastic options are generally more impact-resistant and lighter weight, while fiberglass versions offer better rigidity and paint adhesion. Both materials can match OEM quality when sourced from reputable manufacturers. Look for parts with UV stabilizers to prevent fading and warping, especially for components exposed to direct sunlight.
What tools and hardware are needed to install cab accessories like visors or window deflectors?
Most cab accessories require basic hand tools including socket sets (typically 10mm-19mm), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and a drill with metal bits for any new mounting holes. Sun visors usually come with mounting brackets but may require additional self-tapping screws. Window deflectors often use 3M automotive tape or clip-on brackets that don't require drilling. Professional installation typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the component. Always check if the part includes installation hardware or if it needs to be purchased separately.
What finish options are available for chrome and stainless steel cab accessories?
Cab accessories come in three main finishes: chrome-plated steel, polished stainless steel, and powder-coated options. Chrome provides the brightest mirror finish but requires regular polishing to prevent pitting and rust. Stainless steel (usually 304-grade) offers excellent corrosion resistance with slightly less shine but minimal maintenance. Powder-coated parts are available in black, white, or color-matched options and provide the best chip resistance. Consider your regional weather conditions and maintenance preferences when selecting finishes.
Will adding aftermarket cab extensions or fairings affect my fuel economy?
Properly designed cab extensions and fairings can improve fuel economy by 3-7% by reducing aerodynamic drag. Full cab extender packages that bridge the gap between cab and trailer typically show the best results. Side extenders alone usually provide 1-3% improvement. However, improperly installed or ill-fitting parts can actually increase drag and reduce fuel efficiency. Ensure parts are specifically designed for the T680's aerodynamic profile and are installed according to manufacturer specifications for optimal results.
