Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T800 Dash Kits
Will these dash kits fit my specific year and model Kenworth T800?
Our dash kits are designed to fit Kenworth T800 models from 1987 through 2023. However, there are variations depending on your specific cab configuration (day cab, sleeper, extended hood) and dashboard layout. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting us with your truck's year and any custom modifications to ensure proper fitment. Note that 2005 and newer models may have different dashboard configurations that require specific kit variations.
What material options are available and which is most durable?
We offer dash kits in genuine wood grain, carbon fiber, brushed aluminum, and chrome finishes. For maximum durability, our carbon fiber and brushed aluminum options resist fading, cracking, and peeling better than wood grain finishes. All materials feature automotive-grade adhesive backing and UV-resistant coatings. Wood grain provides a classic look but may require more careful maintenance in extreme temperatures.
How difficult is the installation process and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours and requires basic hand tools including a heat gun or hair dryer, cleaning supplies (isopropyl alcohol), a plastic trim removal tool, and a clean microfiber cloth. The most challenging areas are usually around the gauge cluster and HVAC controls where precise trimming may be needed. We include detailed instructions with each kit, and most professional drivers can complete the installation without assistance.
Do I need to remove my dashboard to install these kits?
No, complete dashboard removal is not required. Our dash kits are designed as overlay pieces that adhere directly to your existing dashboard surfaces. You may need to temporarily remove some small trim pieces or bezels for proper alignment, but the main dashboard structure stays in place. This makes installation much simpler than full dashboard replacement.
Will these dash kits interfere with my gauges, switches, or air vents?
Our dash kits are precision-cut with proper clearances for all factory gauges, switches, vents, and controls. Each piece is designed to complement your existing dashboard without blocking functionality. If you have aftermarket gauges or custom switch panels, you may need to trim certain pieces for proper fitment. We recommend dry-fitting all pieces before applying adhesive to ensure proper alignment around your specific configuration.
