Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Grilles
What's the difference between aftermarket and OEM grilles for my Peterbilt 567/579?
Aftermarket grilles typically offer more style options and cost 30-50% less than OEM parts. Most quality aftermarket grilles use the same mounting points and hardware as factory grilles. OEM grilles guarantee exact fit but limit you to stock appearance. Popular aftermarket options include stainless steel, chrome-plated ABS, and aluminum constructions that often exceed OEM durability while adding custom styling like horizontal bars, mesh patterns, or punched hole designs.
Will a 579 grille fit my 567, or are they model-specific?
The 567 and 579 share the same grille dimensions and mounting system for model years 2013-present, making grilles interchangeable between these models. However, pre-2013 models use different mounting brackets and may require adapter kits. Always verify your specific model year when ordering, as minor changes in mounting tab locations occurred in 2018 that affect some aftermarket options but not OEM replacements.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours and requires basic hand tools: 10mm and 13mm sockets, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and trim removal tools. Most grilles mount using existing factory mounting points with 6-8 bolts accessible from behind the grille opening. The main challenge is safely removing the old grille without damaging surrounding trim. Some installers recommend having a second person to support the grille during removal and installation to prevent dropping or scratching.
Which material holds up best against road debris and weather?
Stainless steel grilles offer the best long-term durability, resisting rust, pitting, and impact damage from rocks and debris. Chrome-plated ABS provides good appearance at lower cost but may show chips or cracks after 2-3 years of heavy use. Aluminum grilles balance weight savings with decent durability but can bend more easily than steel. For trucks in harsh climates or heavy-duty applications, 304-grade stainless steel with polished or brushed finish provides the best value despite higher upfront cost.
Do aftermarket grilles affect airflow to my radiator or engine cooling?
Most quality aftermarket grilles maintain factory airflow specifications through proper bar spacing or mesh density. Grilles with horizontal bars typically allow 85-90% of stock airflow, while mesh designs can restrict flow by 10-15%. For trucks running heavy loads or in hot climates, avoid grilles with dense mesh patterns or excessive chrome trim that blocks airflow. Winter front grilles intentionally restrict airflow and should only be used seasonally in cold weather to maintain proper operating temperatures.
