Kenworth T700 Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Parts

What years of Kenworth T700 trucks are your parts compatible with?

Our Kenworth T700 parts are designed to fit model years 2008 through 2019. However, compatibility can vary by specific part type. For bumpers and exterior accessories, most fit 2008-2019 models without modification. For interior parts and electrical components, please check the product description or contact our support team with your OEM to ensure proper fitment, as Kenworth made minor changes throughout production years.

Are your aftermarket bumpers as durable as OEM Kenworth bumpers?

Our aftermarket bumpers are manufactured from heavy-duty chrome-plated steel or polished stainless steel, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications. Most bumpers feature 16-gauge steel construction with reinforced mounting points. Chrome bumpers include a triple-plating process for corrosion resistance, while stainless options use 304-grade material. Many drivers report our bumpers lasting 5-10 years with proper maintenance, comparable to factory parts at a more competitive price point.

What tools and time are required for bumper installation?

Installing a T700 bumper typically requires 2-4 hours with basic tools including a socket set (especially 18mm and 21mm), torque wrench, and potentially a helper for positioning. Most installations involve removing 6-8 mounting bolts, disconnecting fog lights if equipped, and transferring tow hooks. Common challenges include rusted bolts on older trucks and alignment of mounting holes. We recommend having penetrating oil on hand and following the included instructions or watching our installation videos for model-specific guidance.

What finish options are available for T700 exterior parts?

We offer three primary finishes for T700 parts: chrome-plated steel with mirror finish, brushed stainless steel for a matte appearance, and powder-coated options in black or custom colors. Chrome parts require regular polishing to maintain shine but offer the brightest finish. Stainless steel resists corrosion without maintenance but has a subdued look. Powder-coated parts provide the best chip resistance but may show wear at mounting points over time.

Do your parts come with mounting hardware and instructions?

Most of our T700 bumpers and major components include necessary mounting hardware such as grade 8 bolts, washers, and brackets. However, some universal accessories may require you to reuse existing hardware. Each part includes detailed installation instructions with diagrams. For electrical components like lights, wiring harnesses are typically sold separately unless specifically noted as a complete kit. Always check the "What's Included" section of each product listing for specifics.
