Kenworth T700 Custom Pedals

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Custom Pedals

Will these custom pedals fit my Kenworth T700 without modification?

Custom pedals in this category are designed to match the factory pedal mounting points and pedal arm dimensions used on the Kenworth T700, so they typically install as a direct replacement for the original clutch, brake, and throttle pedal pads or assemblies. That said, production years can bring minor changes to pedal box layouts, so it's a good idea to compare your current pedal shape and mounting hole pattern to the product listing before ordering.

What materials are these pedals made from, and how durable are they?

Most custom pedals for the T700 are constructed from aluminum or heavy-gauge steel, often with a diamond-plate or textured non-slip surface. These materials are chosen for their resistance to wear from constant boot contact, road grit, and moisture that collects in the cab footwell over time. Stainless steel and chrome-finished options are also common for drivers who want added corrosion resistance along with a custom look.

Are these pedals slip-resistant, especially in wet or muddy conditions?

Yes, the majority of custom pedal designs include a raised or grooved tread pattern specifically to improve grip when boots are wet, muddy, or oily. This is one of the main reasons drivers upgrade from factory rubber pedal pads, which can wear smooth and become slippery over years of use.

How difficult is it to install custom pedals myself?

Installation difficulty depends on whether the product is a pedal pad/cover that attaches over the existing pedal or a full pedal arm replacement. Pad-style covers usually bolt or clip directly onto the stock pedal and can be installed with basic hand tools in a short amount of time. Full pedal replacements involve removing the factory pedal from its pivot and mounting hardware, which takes a bit more time and mechanical familiarity but generally does not require special tools.

Do custom pedals affect pedal feel, spacing, or DOT compliance?

Quality custom pedals are designed to maintain the original pedal travel, spacing, and pivot points so the feel of braking, clutching, and accelerating stays consistent with the factory setup. Because they don't alter the underlying mechanical or hydraulic components, they generally don't raise DOT compliance concerns, but drivers should confirm the pedal surface remains slip-resistant and doesn't obstruct full pedal travel once installed.
