Kenworth W900B/W900L Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Will these air tanks and mounting components fit both the W900B and W900L models?

Most air tanks, wraps, and mounting hardware in this category are designed to fit both the W900B and W900L, since these models share similar frame and chassis dimensions. However, air tank placement and bracket configurations can vary depending on the year of your truck and any prior chassis modifications, so it's a good idea to check listed specifications or measure your existing setup before ordering to confirm a proper fit.

What materials are the air tank wraps and covers made from, and how durable are they?

Air tank wraps and covers are typically made from durable materials like stainless steel or aluminum, chosen for their resistance to road grime, moisture, and corrosion. Stainless steel options generally offer a longer-lasting shine and better resistance to pitting, while aluminum wraps tend to be lighter. The right choice often comes down to your priorities between weight savings and long-term appearance.

Do the air tanks themselves come with mounting brackets, or are those sold separately?

This varies by product listing. Some air tanks are sold as complete kits that include mounting brackets and hardware, while others are sold as standalone tanks with brackets and straps offered separately. Always check the product description carefully to confirm what's included before you order, so you're not missing hardware needed for installation.

Can I install air tanks and wraps myself, or should I have a professional do it?

Basic wraps and cosmetic covers can often be installed by anyone comfortable with basic hand tools, since they typically involve wrapping or bolting a cover around an existing tank. However, air tank replacement or relocation involves working with your truck's air brake system, so this should be handled by someone experienced with air brake components to ensure connections are secure and there are no leaks that could affect braking performance.

How do I know what size air tank I need for my truck?

Air tank sizing depends on your truck's air brake system requirements and the space available on your frame. If you're replacing an existing tank, matching the dimensions and mounting hole pattern of your current tank is usually the simplest approach. If you're unsure, it's worth measuring your existing tank and comparing it to the dimensions listed on the product page, or reaching out to our team for help confirming the right fit before you buy.
