Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T880 Cab & Related
What year models of the Kenworth T880 are compatible with aftermarket cab parts?
Most aftermarket cab parts are designed to fit Kenworth T880 models from 2013 to present. However, there were minor design changes in 2017 and 2020 that affect certain components. Always verify compatibility by checking your truck's VIN and production date. Door panels, grab handles, and interior trim pieces typically fit all years, while items like mirror brackets and sun visors may have year-specific variations. Contact our team with your VIN for exact fitment confirmation.
Are aftermarket cab parts made from the same materials as OEM Kenworth parts?
Quality aftermarket cab parts use materials that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Door handles and latches are typically made from stainless steel or chrome-plated zinc alloy, matching factory durability. Interior panels use ABS plastic with UV-resistant coating to prevent fading and cracking. Weather seals feature EPDM rubber that maintains flexibility in extreme temperatures from -40F to 200F. Look for parts that specify material composition and carry warranties of at least 1 year for best results.
What tools and skills are needed to install cab accessories on my T880?
Most cab accessories require basic hand tools including metric sockets (10mm-19mm), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and trim removal tools. Door handle replacement takes 30-45 minutes per side and requires removing door panels. Mirror arm installation needs a torque wrench to achieve proper 65-75 ft-lbs specification. Sun visor brackets require drilling if upgrading from standard to heavy-duty versions. Professional installation is recommended for electrical components like power window switches or cab lights to maintain warranty coverage.
What finishes are available for exterior cab parts, and how do they hold up?
Chrome-plated parts offer the traditional look but require regular polishing to prevent pitting, especially in salt-heavy regions. Stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance but costs 20-30% more. Powder-coated options in black or custom colors resist chips and UV fading for 5-7 years under normal conditions. For maximum durability in harsh environments, choose 304-grade stainless or parts with zinc primer under powder coating.
How do I identify the correct replacement part numbers for my T880 cab components?
Start with your truck's door jamb data plate which lists the model code and build date. Kenworth uses a prefix system where most T880 cab parts begin with R23, R24, or R25 depending on the component type. Cross-reference OEM part numbers using the last 6 digits, as many aftermarket manufacturers adopt similar numbering. For electrical components, also note your cab configuration (day cab, 52-inch sleeper, 76-inch sleeper) as wiring harness lengths vary. Keep photos of existing parts showing mounting points and connector types to ensure proper replacement selection.
