SCOPE
This manual was created to provide body builders with appropriate information and guidelines useful in the body planning
and installation process. This information will be helpful when installing bodies or other associated equipment.
This manual contains appropriate dimensional information, guidelines for mounting bodies, guidelines for modifying
frames, electrical wiring information, and other information useful in the body installation process. This manual is specic
to chassis with 2010 engines.
The intended primary users of this manual are body builders who install bodies and associated equipment on Kenworth
T170/T270/T370 Medium Duty vehicles. Dealers who sell and service the vehicle will also nd this information useful.
This Body Builders’ Manual can be very useful when specifying a vehicle, particularly when the body builder is involved in
the vehicle denition and ordering process. Early in the process, professional body builders can often contribute valuable
information that reduces the ultimate cost of the body installation.
In the interest of continuing product development, Kenworth reserves the right to change specications or products at any
time without prior notice. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that he is working with the latest update. The most
current update is available through your local Kenworth dealer.
If you require additional information or reference materials, please contact your local Kenworth dealer.

FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Kenworth Truck Co. ensures that our products comply with all applicable
U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. However, the fact that this vehicle has no fth wheel and that a
Body Builder (Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer) will be doing additional modications means that the vehicle was
incomplete when it left the build plant. See next section and Appendix A for additional information.
Incomplete Vehicle Certication
An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with the vehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete. See Figure 2–1.
In addition, afxed to the driver’s side door frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certication label. See Figure 2–2. For
further information on Vehicle Certication and Identication, see APPENDIX A “VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION.”
These documents list the U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard regulations that the
vehicle complied with when it left the build plant. You should be aware that if you add, modify or alter any
of the components or systems covered by these regulations, it is your responsibility as the Intermediate or
Final Stage Manufacturer to ensure that the complete vehicle is in compliance with the particular regula-
tions upon completion of the modications.
As the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer, you should retain the Incomplete Vehicle Document for your records. In
addition, you should record and retain the manufacturer and serial number of the tires on the vehicle. Upon completion
of the vehicle (installation of the body and any other modications), you should afx your certication label to the vehicle
as required by Federal law. This tag identies you as the “Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer” and certies that the
vehicle complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. (See Figure 2–2.) Be advised that regulations affecting the
intermediate and nal stage manufacturer may change without notice. Ensure you are referencing the most updated copy
of the regulation during the certication and documentation processes.
In part, if the nal stage manufacturer can complete and certify the vehicle within the instruction in the incomplete vehicle
document (IVD) the certication label would need a statement that reads, “This vehicle has been completed in accordance
with the prior manufacturers‚ IVD where applicable. This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards [and Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards if applicable] in effect in (month, year).”
However, if the vehicle can not be completed and certied with in the guidance provided in the IVD, the nal stage manu-
facturer must ensure the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The nal
stage manufactures certication label would need a statement that reads, “This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards [and Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards if applicable] in effect in (month, year).”

Noise and Emissions Requirements
2010 Automotive engines have been tested and EPA/CARB certied with a complex inte-
grated system. This system is comprised of several emissions control devices including,
but not limited to, a Diesel Particulate lter (DPF) and a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR)
system.
The body builder must not modify or relocate any devices included in the emissions
system. Doing so may result in the voiding of all warranties and the occurrence of an
emissions noncompliance event that may be considered tampering and punishable by the
assessment of penalties by the EPA and ARB as well as the need for remedial measures.
Modication of the emissions system can only be done with the preapproval of Cummins
and/or Kenworth. Body builders’ rst point of contact concerning emissions systems
modications will be Kenworth.
It is possible to relocate the DEF tank, however the relocation requirements need to be followed. Any variance from the
relocation requirements may cause the emissions control components/systems to operate improperly potentially resulting
in engine de-rate. See page 4-3 for relocation requirements.
Some 2010 engine emissions certied vehicles will be equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD) system. The OBD system is designed to detect malfunctions of any engine or vehicle
component that may increase exhaust emissions or interfere with the proper performance of the
OBD system itself.
The OBD system consists of computer program on one or more of the vehicle’s Electronic Control
Units (ECUs). This program uses information from the control system and from additional sensors
to detect malfunctions. When a malfunction is detected, information is stored in the ECU(s) for
diagnostic purposes. A Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated in the dash to alert the
driver of the need for service of an emission-related component or system.
To ensure compliance to emissions regulations, the nal conguration of certain features of the completed vehicle
must meet specic requirements. This section describes requirements relevant for only the most common or critical
modications done by body builders. For a complete description of acceptable modications, see the application
guidance available from the manufacturer of the engine installed in the chassis.

• The following modications may only be done within the guidelines of the “DEF System Relocation Guide.”
• Modications to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) throttle, suction, or pressure lines
• Modication or relocation of the DEF tank
• Modication of coolant lines to and from the DEF tank
• All DEF and coolant lines should be routed, protected, and properly secured to prevent damage during vehicle
operation or other components
• If relocation of the DCU is necessary, use existing frame brackets and mount inside of frame anges where
necessary. Do not extend the harnesses
• The DPF, the SCR catalyst, or their mounting may not be modied
• The NOxsensor may not been relocated or altered in any way
• Exhaust pipes used for tailpipes/stacks must be properly sized, and must prevent water from entering the
exhaust system
• Ensure adequate clearance between the exhaust and body panels, hoses, and wire harnesses
• The body in the vicinity of the DPF must be able to withstand temperatures up to 400°C (750°F)
• Do not add thermal insulation to the external surface of the DPF
• The SCR water drain hole may not be blocked
• Allow adequate clearance (25mm (1 inch)) for servicing the DPF sensors, wiring, and clamped joints
• Drainage may not come in contact with the DPF, SCR catalyst, sensors or wiring
• Allow sufcient clearance for removing sensors from DPF. Thermistors require four inches. Other sensors
require one inch
• Wiring should be routed, protected from heat, and properly secured to prevent damage from
other components
• The exhaust system from an auxiliary power unit (APU) must not be connected to any part of the vehicle
after-treatment system or vehicle tail pipe.
Cooling System
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Modications to the design or locations of ll or vent lines, heater or defroster core, and surge tank are not
recommended
• With the exception of post-thermostat installation, additional accessories plumbed into the engine cooling
system are not permitted, and may void vehicle warranty
• Coolant level sensor tampering will void warranty
• When installing auxiliary equipment in front of the vehicle, or additional heat exchangers, ensure that
adequate air ow is available to the vehicle cooling system. Refer to engine manufacturer application guide-
lines for further detail
• When installing FEPTO drivelines, the lower radiator anti-recirculation seal must be retained with FEPTO
driveline clearance modication only
• Changes made to cooling fan circuit and controls are not allowed, with the exception of AC minimum fan on
time parameter
• See owner’s manual for appropriate winter front usage

Electrical System
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Electrical harnesses providing battery power and electronic control signals to engine and emissions control/
vehicle OBD components including datalinks may not be spliced. These emissions control/vehicle OBD
components include the following:
• throttle pedal
• vehicle speed sensor
• after-treatment wiring
• If the alternator or battery is substituted, it must meet the requirements of the engine manufacture’s guide-
lines. This includes alternator ground voltage drop and alternator ground cable effectiveness. See the engine
manufacture’s guidelines for recommended test procedure. Additionally the maximum voltage differential and
the peak-peak voltage differential between the engine ECM block ground stud and battery negative terminal
may not exceed 500 mV under any combination of loads or operating conditions.
• Installation of aftermarket transfer-cases must address the vehicle speed sensor position. The standard posi-
tion of the speed sensor is at the transmission tail shaft. When a transfer-case is added it is best to relocate
the sensor to the axle side output shaft of the transfer-case. This is typically accomplished by adding a tone
wheel into the driveline yoke assembly.
• Wiring extensions for the after-treatment wiring are available for relocating the DEF tank from your dealer via
Paccar Parts. For relocation of DEF tank, refer to the after-treatment section of this manual.
• The emission system requires an accurate Outside Air Temperature (OAT) reading in order to properly run
its control algorithms. The OAT sensor is located in the driver’s side mirror assembly on Kenworth trucks and
is shown in the gures below. If the body builder needs to modify the mirror assembly in any way, it is im-
portant the OAT sensor stay positioned on the mirror assembly. Running the vehicle without the OAT sensor
connected will cause the MIL lamp to illuminate. If needed, a replacement sensor can be ordered from your
Kenworth dealer.

• Coolant Sensor considerations are given in the Cooling section above
• The OBD/Diagnostic connector port is located below the dash to the left of the steering wheel. This connector
or its location may not be changed.
• Vehicles using EPA 2010 compliant engines must be equipped with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lamp.
This lamp is required to be an engine outline symbol as dened by ISO (International Standards Organiza-
tion). The gure below shows the instrument cluster and MIL lamp position. Note this lamp location is xed
with respect to the controls and its location may not be changed if you are updating the warning lamp cards.
The MIL lamp will not be used with Medium Duty vehicles until 2013.

• In addition to the sensors and lamps above, the emission system also depends on signals from the exhaust
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), and NOx sensor. Wiring between these
devices, the Dosing Control Unit (DCU) and engine ECM should not be tampered with or altered in any way.

GAWR The maximum allowable weight each axle assembly is designed to carry, as measured at the tires, there-
fore including the weight of the axle assembly itself. GAWR is established by considering the rating of each
of its components (tires, wheels, springs, axle and steering system), and rating the axle on its weakest link.
The GAWR assumes that the load is equal on each side.
LADEN This is the weight condition of the truck with the front and rear axles loaded to their Gross Axle Weight
Rating, GAWR.
UNLADEN This is the weight condition of the truck delivered from the PACCAR factory. This is without the following:
body, driver, and tools. It does include uids, but no fuel.
