Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Dash Knobs
What years and models are these dash knobs compatible with?
These dash knobs are specifically designed for Kenworth W900B models from 1987-2010 and W900L models from 1987-present. They fit the standard dashboard controls including heater/AC, fan speed, and auxiliary switches. Always verify your truck's specific year and dash configuration before ordering, as some custom or specialty edition models may have different knob specifications.
Are these dash knobs made from chrome-plated plastic or solid metal?
Our Kenworth dash knobs come in both chrome-plated ABS plastic and solid billet aluminum options. The chrome-plated versions offer excellent durability at an economical price point, while the billet aluminum knobs provide superior weight, feel, and longevity. Both types feature high-quality chrome finishes that resist fading and peeling under normal use conditions.
How difficult is it to install these dash knobs, and what tools do I need?
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 5-10 minutes per knob. Most knobs are direct replacements that simply pull off and push on, though some may require loosening a small set screw with an Allen wrench (usually 1/8" or 3/32"). No special tools or dashboard removal is required. Some drivers use a plastic trim tool to gently pry off stubborn factory knobs without damaging the dash.
What styles and finishes are available for W900B/W900L dash knobs?
We offer several styles including smooth chrome, knurled chrome, colored anodized aluminum, and custom engraved options. Popular finishes include polished chrome, black chrome, brushed aluminum, and colored accents in red, blue, or purple. Many drivers choose matching sets for a coordinated look, while others mix styles for personalization. We also carry illuminated knobs for specific applications.
Will aftermarket dash knobs affect my warranty or cause fitment issues?
Quality aftermarket dash knobs that match OEM specifications will not affect your warranty and should fit perfectly without modification. Our knobs maintain the same shaft dimensions and engagement points as factory knobs. However, ensure you're ordering the correct knob type for your specific control - heater knobs have different shaft sizes than wiper or light switch knobs. When in doubt, measure your existing knob shaft diameter or contact us with your VIN for verification.
