Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

What years and models of Peterbilt 367 are these air tanks compatible with?

Our air tanks and mounting hardware are designed to fit Peterbilt 367 models from 2007 to present. However, there can be variations based on your specific truck configuration, such as wheelbase length and factory-installed options. We recommend checking your VIN or calling our technical support team at 1-888-875-7787 with your truck's specifications to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Are the air tank wraps heat-resistant, and how long do they typically last?

Yes, our air tank wraps are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel or aluminum that can withstand temperatures up to 500?F without warping or discoloration. Under normal driving conditions, these wraps typically last 5-7 years before showing signs of wear. The longevity depends on factors like road salt exposure, washing frequency, and whether you choose polished stainless or standard aluminum finish. Polished stainless steel wraps generally offer the best corrosion resistance and durability.

What tools and hardware are needed for installation, and how difficult is it?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools including a socket set, wrenches, and a drill with metal bits for some mounting brackets. Most air tank installations take 2-3 hours for someone with moderate mechanical experience. The mounting kits include all necessary brackets, bolts, and straps, but you may need to purchase additional air line fittings depending on your setup. Common challenges include aligning brackets on older trucks with existing mounting holes and ensuring proper clearance from exhaust components.

What's the difference between aluminum and steel air tanks, and which should I choose?

Aluminum tanks are lighter (reducing overall vehicle weight by 15-20 lbs per tank) and naturally resist corrosion, making them ideal for drivers in coastal areas or regions using road salt. Steel tanks are more impact-resistant and typically cost 20-30% less than aluminum. Steel tanks require regular inspection for rust, especially at mounting points and weld seams. Most owner-operators choose aluminum for weight savings and longevity, while fleet operators often select steel for the lower initial cost.

Do these air tanks come with mounting straps, and are they DOT compliant?

All our air tanks are DOT certified and include certification stamps required for commercial vehicle inspections. Complete mounting kits with heavy-duty straps, brackets, and grade 8 hardware are available separately or as bundle packages. The straps are specifically designed to meet DOT requirements for secure mounting and include rubber isolators to prevent metal-on-metal contact. When ordering, specify if you need a complete mounting kit or just replacement components.
