The rust and corrosion problem

Kenworth HVAC corrosion can turn a routine heater box repair into recurring downtime.

Older HVAC boxes can be exposed to road salt, moisture, vibration, and seasonal temperature swings. For fleets and shops, a corroded Kenworth W900 heater box can lead to repeat repairs and reduced service confidence.

  • Rust around box seams and mounting pointsCommon on trucks working in wet, salted, or winter road environments.
  • Reduced confidence during repeat repairsCorroded boxes can make component replacement less predictable.
  • Downtime pressure for fleets and shopsHVAC repairs compete with scheduled maintenance and driver availability.

Is this a Kenworth W900 heater box or a complete HVAC assembly?

Each unit ships as a complete HVAC assembly including the stainless steel box, heater core, evaporator, expansion valve, blower motor, and related installed components. This helps reduce sourcing time, simplify installation, and minimize downtime.

Where do you ship from?

We support North American customers through warehouse and fulfillment locations in California and Vancouver, helping dealers, fleets, and repair facilities receive orders quickly throughout the United States and Canada.

Is there a warranty on the stainless steel HVAC box?
