What year models of Kenworth T680 trucks are compatible with your front bumpers?
Our Kenworth T680 front bumpers are designed to fit model years 2013 through current production. However, there are slight variations between pre-2017 and post-2017 models due to updated mounting brackets and sensor placement. When ordering, specify your exact year and whether your truck has adaptive cruise control or collision mitigation systems, as these require bumpers with proper sensor cutouts and mounting provisions.
What materials are these bumpers made from, and how thick is the steel?
Most of our T680 front bumpers are constructed from either 16-gauge (0.0598 inch) or 14-gauge (0.0747 inch) cold-rolled steel, with premium options featuring 12-gauge (0.1046 inch) steel for maximum durability. Chrome-plated bumpers undergo a triple-plating process (copper, nickel, then chrome) for corrosion resistance. We also offer lightweight aluminum options that are typically 3/16 inch thick, reducing weight by approximately 40% compared to steel alternatives.
Can I install a T680 front bumper myself, or do I need professional installation?
While experienced mechanics can complete the installation in 2-3 hours, we recommend professional installation for most customers. The bumper weighs between 85-150 pounds depending on the model, requiring at least two people for safe handling. Installation involves removing the factory bumper, transferring fog lights and sensors if applicable, aligning mounting brackets, and torquing bolts to 120-140 ft-lbs. Improper installation can affect sensor calibration and void warranties.
What finish options are available, and which holds up best against road salt and weather?
We offer four primary finishes: mirror-polished chrome, brushed stainless steel, powder-coated black, and bare steel for custom painting. For maximum weather resistance, powder-coated bumpers provide the best protection against road salt and corrosion, lasting 5-7 years with proper maintenance. Chrome bumpers offer excellent aesthetics but require regular polishing and may show pitting after 3-4 years in harsh climates. Stainless steel provides the best long-term durability without maintenance requirements.
Will aftermarket bumpers affect my truck's warranty or insurance coverage?
Installing an aftermarket bumper typically does not void your truck's powertrain warranty, but it may affect coverage for collision-related systems and front-end components. Always verify with your dealer before installation. For insurance purposes, notify your provider about the modification, as some aftermarket bumpers can actually improve safety ratings and may qualify for discounts. Keep all receipts and installation documentation, as DOT-certified bumpers meeting FMVSS standards are required for commercial operation.
