Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FL70-FL80 Dash Knobs
What years and models are these dash knobs compatible with?
These dash knobs are specifically designed for Freightliner FL70 and FL80 models manufactured between 1996 and 2007. They fit both manual and automatic transmission models. Before ordering, verify your truck's VIN and model year, as dashboard configurations can vary slightly between early and late production years within this range.
Are these OEM quality or aftermarket replacements?
We offer both OEM-style replacements and upgraded aftermarket options. Our aftermarket knobs are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, using durable ABS plastic or chrome-plated materials. Many customers prefer our aftermarket options as they often feature improved grip patterns and more robust construction than original factory knobs that may have become brittle over time.
How difficult is the installation process?
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 5-10 minutes per knob. Most dash knobs are push-fit or twist-lock designs that require no special tools. Simply pull the old knob straight off (some may require a gentle rocking motion) and push the new one firmly into place until it clicks. For stubborn removals, a plastic trim tool can help prevent dashboard damage. No electrical connections or programming is required.
What style options are available for FL70-FL80 dash knobs?
We stock several styles including classic black plastic, chrome-plated, colored accent knobs, and diamond-plate textured options. Popular sets include HVAC control knobs, headlight switches, wiper controls, and complete dash knob kits. Knobs are available individually or in matching sets. Most drivers prefer complete sets for a uniform dashboard appearance.
Will these knobs fix loose or wobbly controls?
New knobs can resolve issues if the problem is worn knob internals or stripped mounting points on the knob itself. However, if the shaft behind the dashboard is damaged or the control mechanism is faulty, replacing just the knob won't fix the wobble. We recommend checking the shaft condition first by removing the old knob and testing for play in the control stem before ordering.
