Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Dash Kits

What years and models are these dash kits compatible with?

Our Kenworth dash kits are designed specifically for W900B models (1987-2010) and W900L models (1987-present). However, compatibility can vary based on your truck's specific dash configuration and any aftermarket modifications. We recommend checking your VIN and existing dash layout before ordering, as some model years had mid-year changes. If you're unsure about fitment, contact our support team with your truck's year and VIN for verification.

Are these real wood or wood-grain vinyl dash kits?

We offer both genuine wood veneer and high-quality wood-grain vinyl options. Real wood kits feature authentic hardwood veneers with a protective clear coat finish, while our vinyl kits use advanced printing technology for realistic wood appearance. Vinyl kits are more budget-friendly and resistant to fading, while real wood provides authentic luxury but requires more careful maintenance. Each product listing clearly specifies the material type in the title and description.

How difficult is the installation process?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for experienced DIYers. The kits come with pre-cut pieces that match your dash contours and use automotive-grade adhesive backing. You'll need basic tools including a heat gun or hair dryer, cleaning supplies, and trim removal tools. The most challenging areas are usually around the gauge cluster and curved surfaces. We provide detailed instructions with each kit, and many customers successfully complete installation themselves, though professional installation is available at most truck accessory shops.

Will these dash kits fit around aftermarket gauges or accessories?

Our dash kits are designed for factory gauge configurations. If you have aftermarket gauges, CB radios, or other dash-mounted accessories, you may need to trim the kit pieces for proper fitment. The material can be carefully cut with a sharp utility knife or precision scissors. We recommend dry-fitting all pieces before removing adhesive backing to ensure proper alignment around any modifications. Custom cutting will not affect the kit's warranty as long as the material quality remains intact.

How durable are these dash kits in extreme temperatures?

Both our wood and vinyl dash kits are engineered for commercial truck environments. Vinyl kits are rated for temperatures from -40?F to 140?F without peeling or warping. Real wood kits feature UV-resistant clear coating but may show minor expansion/contraction in extreme temperature swings. All adhesives are automotive-grade and designed to maintain bond strength in hot summers and cold winters. For maximum longevity, we recommend using a windshield sun shade when parked in direct sunlight for extended periods.
