Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T800 Deck Plates & Air Line Boxes

What years and models of Kenworth T800 do these deck plates fit?

Our deck plates and air line boxes are designed to fit Kenworth T800 models from 1987 through 2007. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific configuration, particularly if you have an extended hood or custom bumper setup. We recommend checking your truck's build date and measuring your existing deck plate dimensions before ordering. Most standard T800 models use either 31-inch or 37-inch deck plates, depending on the hood length.

Are these deck plates made from stainless steel or aluminum, and which is better for my application?

We offer both 304 stainless steel and aluminum options. Stainless steel deck plates are heavier (approximately 15-20 pounds) but provide superior corrosion resistance and durability, making them ideal for trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or coastal areas. Aluminum deck plates are lighter (8-12 pounds) and more budget-friendly, perfect for drivers prioritizing weight savings. Both materials come with pre-drilled mounting holes that align with factory specifications.

Do I need special tools or professional installation for deck plates and air line boxes?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools including a socket set, drill with metal bits, and silicone sealant. Most deck plates can be installed in 1-2 hours by someone with moderate mechanical experience. The mounting holes usually align with existing factory locations, though some drilling may be required for aftermarket bumpers. Air line boxes often require additional plumbing connections. We include detailed instructions with each product, but professional installation is recommended if you're uncomfortable working with air lines or electrical connections for lighted models.

What's the difference between lighted and non-lighted air line boxes?

Lighted air line boxes feature integrated LED marker lights that enhance visibility and meet DOT requirements for additional lighting. These require a 12V connection to your truck's electrical system and add approximately $75-150 to the cost. Non-lighted boxes are simpler to install and maintain, requiring no electrical work. Both styles accommodate standard glad hand connections and typically include rubber grommets to protect air lines from chafing.

Will aftermarket deck plates affect my bumper warranty or cause fitment issues?

Quality aftermarket deck plates that match OEM specifications should not affect your bumper warranty when properly installed. However, fitment can be challenging with certain aftermarket bumpers, particularly those with custom light configurations or non-standard mounting points. Always verify the mounting hole pattern and overall dimensions before purchasing. Some customers with Texas bumpers or herd bumpers report needing to modify mounting brackets or use spacers for proper alignment. Contact us with your specific bumper model for compatibility confirmation.
