Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 375/377 Sleeper & Related
What year models do these bumpers fit, and are there any compatibility issues I should know about?
Our Peterbilt 375/377 bumpers are designed to fit models from 1987 through 2007. However, there are important distinctions to consider: bumpers for pre-2000 models have different mounting hole patterns than 2000-2007 models. Additionally, if your truck has been retrofitted with aftermarket accessories or has a custom front end modification, you may need to verify measurements. Always check if your truck has the standard 18-inch or optional 20-inch bumper configuration before ordering.
What's the difference between chrome steel and stainless steel bumpers, and which one holds up better?
Chrome-plated steel bumpers offer a mirror-like finish at a lower price point but require regular polishing and can show pitting or rust if the chrome layer is damaged. Stainless steel bumpers (typically 304-grade) cost more initially but resist corrosion naturally and maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance. For trucks operating in northern states with heavy road salt exposure, stainless steel typically provides 10-15 years of service versus 5-7 years for chrome-plated options.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools or modifications are required?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need standard tools including a socket set (typically 3/4" and 7/8" for mounting bolts), and possibly a drill if adding accessories. Most bumpers use the existing frame mounting points, but some aftermarket options may require drilling additional holes for fog lights or step plates. Heavy-duty bumpers over 16 inches may need two people for safe handling during installation.
What bumper styles are available, and how do they affect aerodynamics and fuel economy?
We offer three main styles: standard OEM-replacement (14-16 inch), heavy-duty (18-20 inch), and Texas-style square bumpers. Standard bumpers have minimal impact on fuel economy. Heavy-duty bumpers can reduce fuel efficiency by 0.2-0.5 MPG due to increased wind resistance. Texas-style bumpers, while popular for their aggressive look, typically see the largest fuel economy impact at highway speeds. Many drivers offset this by adding an air dam or lower valance panel.
Do these bumpers come with mounting hardware, and what about fog light or accessory compatibility?
Most bumpers include basic mounting bolts and brackets, but additional hardware may be needed depending on your specific truck configuration. Fog light cutouts are standard on many models, but you'll need to purchase lights and wiring harnesses separately. Popular accessories like light bars, step plates, and tow hooks often require bumper-specific mounting kits. We recommend checking the product description for what's included, as some economy bumpers are sold bare while premium options include full hardware kits.
