Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T880 Frame Nut Covers

Will these frame nut covers fit my specific year model Kenworth T880?

Our frame nut covers are designed to fit Kenworth T880 models from 2013 to present. However, we recommend verifying your truck's frame rail dimensions before ordering, as some specialty configurations may have variations. The standard covers fit 33mm (1.3 inch) lug nuts, which are used on most T880 models. If you're unsure about compatibility, please contact our customer service team with your VIN number for verification.

Are these covers made from real stainless steel or chrome-plated plastic?

We carry both options to meet different needs and budgets. Our premium line features genuine 304 stainless steel covers that resist rust and maintain their shine even in harsh weather conditions. We also offer ABS chrome-plated plastic covers as a more economical option. Each product listing clearly states the material type in the description. The stainless steel versions typically cost more but offer superior durability and won't yellow or peel over time.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes 30-45 minutes for a complete set. Most of our frame nut covers are push-on style that snap directly over your existing lug nuts - no tools required. Some models feature a twist-lock design that requires gentle hand pressure to secure. We recommend cleaning the lug nuts with brake cleaner before installation for the best fit. Full installation instructions are included with each order.

How many covers come in a set, and will I have enough for my entire truck?

Standard sets include 20 covers, which is sufficient for a typical T880 with dual rear wheels (10 lugs per wheel x 2 rear wheels). If your truck has additional axles or you want to cover front wheel nuts as well, you'll need to order additional sets. Single axle trucks typically need one set, tandem axle trucks need two sets, and tri-axle configurations require three sets for complete coverage.

Will these covers stay on at highway speeds and in winter conditions?

Quality frame nut covers are designed to withstand highway speeds and extreme weather when properly installed. Our stainless steel covers feature internal retention tabs that grip the lug nuts securely. However, covers can loosen over time due to vibration, especially if the lug nuts have heavy rust or damage. We recommend checking them during regular pre-trip inspections. For areas with heavy road salt usage, stainless steel covers are strongly recommended over chrome-plated options.
