Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T880 Disc Brake Parts

Will these disc brake parts fit my specific T880 model year and configuration?

Our disc brake components are designed for Kenworth T880 models from 2013 to present. However, compatibility can vary based on your truck's axle configuration, GAWR rating, and whether you have standard or wide-track axles. We recommend checking your VIN or calling our tech support at 1-888-875-7787 with your truck's specifics. Most T880s use either Meritor EX225 or Bendix ADB22X disc brake systems, and we carry parts for both.

What's the typical lifespan of T880 brake pads and rotors under normal hauling conditions?

Under standard commercial use, quality brake pads typically last 250,000-350,000 miles, while rotors can go 500,000-700,000 miles with proper maintenance. Heavy-duty applications like logging, construction, or mountain routes will see 30-40% shorter lifespans. We carry both OEM-spec and premium aftermarket options. Premium ceramic pads tend to last longer and produce less dust, making them popular for highway applications.

Can I upgrade from drum brakes to disc brakes on my T880, or mix brake types?

While technically possible, converting from drum to disc brakes requires significant modifications including new wheel hubs, air chambers, and possibly wheels. Most T880s built after 2016 come standard with disc brakes. Mixing drum and disc brakes on the same axle is never recommended due to different braking characteristics. If you're considering an upgrade, our parts specialists can help you identify complete conversion kits.

What are the warning signs that my T880's disc brake components need replacement?

Key indicators include: brake pad thickness below 3/16 inch, visible cracks or heat spots on rotors, uneven pad wear, grinding or squealing sounds, increased stopping distances, or brake pedal pulsation. Also check for damaged dust boots on caliper pins and seized slide pins during inspections. Most T880 operators find that regular 90-day inspections catch issues before they become safety concerns.

Do I need special tools to service T880 disc brakes myself?

Basic disc brake service requires a caliper piston compression tool, torque wrench capable of 450-500 ft-lbs for wheel bearing adjustments, and proper jack stands rated for commercial trucks. Some Meritor systems require special caliper guide pin tools. While pad replacement is straightforward, rotor replacement often requires hub removal and bearing service. We stock Carlisle and OTC tool sets specifically designed for heavy-duty disc brake service.
