What years and models of Kenworth T800 trucks are these visors compatible with?
Our Kenworth T800 visors are designed to fit model years 1986 through 2015. These visors are compatible with both standard cab and extended cab configurations. However, trucks with aftermarket roof fairings or custom light bars may require additional mounting brackets or modifications. We recommend checking your specific truck's roof configuration before ordering, as some specialty models like heavy haul configurations may have different mounting points.
What materials are these visors made from, and how durable are they?
Most of our T800 visors are constructed from either 16-gauge steel or fiberglass, depending on the specific model you choose. Steel visors offer superior strength and resistance to impacts but require regular maintenance to prevent rust. Fiberglass options are lighter weight and naturally rust-resistant but may crack under extreme impact. Both materials are designed to withstand highway speeds and weather conditions. Steel visors typically come with a powder-coated or chrome finish for added protection.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools are required?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, socket set, and measuring tape. Most visors come with pre-drilled mounting holes that align with factory cab mounting points. The main challenges customers report are achieving proper alignment and dealing with older trucks that may have damaged or corroded mounting areas. We strongly recommend having a second person assist with positioning and support during installation. Professional installation typically costs between $200-400 if you prefer not to do it yourself.
What styles and finishes are available for T800 visors?
We offer several popular styles including the standard 13-inch drop visor, 15-inch extended drop, and curved aerodynamic designs. Finish options include polished stainless steel, chrome, painted steel (available in standard truck colors), and raw steel for custom painting. The most popular choices are the 13-inch chrome visor for classic looks and the 15-inch painted visor for drivers seeking maximum sun protection. Some models also feature integrated LED marker light cutouts for enhanced visibility.
Will adding a visor affect my fuel economy or create wind noise?
A properly installed visor typically has minimal impact on fuel economy, with most drivers reporting less than 1% difference in fuel consumption. However, improperly aligned or loose visors can create significant wind noise and drag. The key is ensuring the visor sits flush against the cab with proper sealing. Many drivers actually report reduced eye strain and fatigue from better sun blocking outweighs any minor fuel economy changes. Aerodynamic curved designs tend to produce less wind noise than traditional flat visors at highway speeds.
