Upgrading from the OEM 386 plastic bumper to a 304 stainless steel bumper is a smart move for any Peterbilt 386 owner who wants durability, style, and long-term value. Unlike plastic, 304 stainless steel resists cracking, fading, and damage from road debris, de-icing chemicals, and harsh weather, helping protect the front of your truck for the long haul. The polished stainless finish also gives your 386 a premium, custom look that’s easy to clean and keeps shining, which can boost curb appeal and resale value. In short, a 304 stainless steel bumper is a tougher, better-looking, and more cost-effective upgrade over the stock plastic bumper.

Corner Drop Test
This aluminum fuel tank has been tested to the corner-drop requirements used for side-mounted truck fuel tanks. In this test, the fully assembled tank is filled with water to simulate its maximum fuel load and dropped 30 feet onto one exposed corner onto an unyielding steel surface. After impact, the tank and all fittings must remain intact and may not leak more than 1 ounce of fluid per minute, demonstrating that the tank can withstand severe real-world impact loads while maintaining structural integrity and containing its contents.
Filler Neck Drop Test
This aluminum fuel tank is also designed to meet the fill neck drop test standard used for side-mounted truck fuel tanks. In this test, the fully assembled tank is filled with water to simulate its maximum fuel capacity and dropped10 feet directly onto the fill neck onto an unyielding surface. To pass, the tank and all associated fittings must remain structurally sound and may not leak more than1 ounce of fluid per minute after impact. This demonstrates that the fill neck and surrounding structure can withstand severe abuse and accidental impact without compromising the tank’s ability to safely contain fuel.
