Peterbilt 567/579 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Air Tanks, Wraps & Mounting

Will these air tanks and mounting kits fit my Peterbilt 567 or 579 without modification?

These air tanks, wraps, and mounting components are designed to match the factory frame layout and mounting points on the Peterbilt 567 and 579 models. That said, wheelbase length, frame rail configuration, and any aftermarket components already installed on your truck can affect fit. We recommend checking listed specs and measurements against your truck before ordering, and reaching out to our team if you are unsure about a specific setup.

What material are the air tank wraps made from, and how well do they hold up over time?

Air tank wraps in this category are typically made from stainless steel, chosen for its durability and resistance to rust and road grime. Stainless steel wraps hold up well in daily highway use, but like any exterior part, they will show wear over time from road debris, salt, and general use. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance longer.

Are these tanks and wraps available in different finishes?

Yes, many of the air tanks and wraps in this category come in a few finish options, such as polished or brushed stainless steel. The finish you choose is mostly a matter of matching the rest of your truck's exterior trim, since both options offer similar durability.

What tools or experience level are needed to install an air tank wrap or mounting bracket?

Most air tank wraps are designed to install using basic hand tools and typically clamp or bolt around the existing tank without requiring you to disconnect air lines. Mounting brackets and hardware may require more involved work, including some drilling or fabrication depending on your specific truck configuration. If you are not comfortable with this level of work, having a qualified truck shop handle installation is a good option.

Do I need to disconnect my air system or drain the tanks before installing a wrap or new mount?

In most cases, installing a wrap alone does not require you to disconnect air lines or drain the tank, since the wrap fits around the existing tank. However, if you are replacing the air tank itself or altering its mounting position, you will need to safely drain the air system and disconnect the lines first. Always follow proper lockout procedures and consult your truck's service manual, or have a qualified technician handle any work involving the air brake system.
