Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 362 Parts

What years do these parts fit, and how can I verify compatibility with my specific Peterbilt 362?

Most aftermarket parts for the Peterbilt 362 are designed to fit models from 1980 through 1986, though some universal accessories may work across all years. To verify compatibility, check your VIN plate located on the driver's side door jamb and match it with the part specifications. Key differences exist between early models (1980-1983) and later models (1984-1986), particularly in hood designs, light configurations, and mounting points. When in doubt, contact us with your truck's serial number and we'll confirm fitment before you order.

Are these bumpers made from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel, and which is better for my application?

We offer both chrome-plated steel and 304 stainless steel bumpers. Chrome-plated steel bumpers provide the classic mirror finish at a lower price point but require regular polishing and may show rust if the chrome chips. Stainless steel bumpers cost more upfront but resist corrosion better and maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance. For trucks in salt-belt states or coastal areas, we recommend stainless steel. For show trucks or mild climates, chrome-plated steel offers excellent value and appearance.

What tools and hardware do I need for installation, and can I install these parts myself?

Most bumper installations require basic hand tools including 3/4" and 7/8" wrenches, a socket set, and a torque wrench. Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for someone with moderate mechanical experience. New bumpers usually include mounting brackets and Grade 8 bolts, but you may need to reuse some existing hardware. Common challenges include aligning mounting holes on older frames and removing rusted factory bolts. We recommend having a helper for handling heavy bumpers and using penetrating oil on old hardware 24 hours before removal.

What's the difference between OEM-style and aftermarket parts, and how does it affect fit and finish?

OEM-style parts are manufactured to original factory specifications, ensuring precise fitment and authentic appearance. Aftermarket options often feature improvements like thicker gauge materials or additional chrome plating but may require minor adjustments during installation. OEM-style parts typically bolt up using existing mounting points, while some aftermarket parts might need slight drilling or bracket modifications. Both options can provide excellent results, with aftermarket parts often offering better corrosion resistance and durability at a competitive price.

How do I maintain chrome and stainless steel parts to prevent pitting and corrosion?

Chrome bumpers require monthly cleaning with chrome polish and a soft cloth to prevent pitting. Apply a thin coat of wax after polishing to protect against moisture. For stainless steel, use a stainless-specific cleaner every 2-3 months and buff with a microfiber cloth. In winter climates, rinse road salt off weekly and increase waxing frequency. Avoid abrasive cleaners on both materials. Small scratches on stainless can be buffed out with fine-grit compounds, while chrome damage typically requires professional re-plating.
