Warranty: 1 YEARS ,Part name: decoupling pin cover 8406040-C6100
The Dongfeng GX Right Decoupling Pin Cover 8406040-C6100 is engineered to shield the truck’s right decoupling pin—a vital component in the powertrain or suspension system that enables controlled separation of linked mechanical parts (e.g., during gear shifts or suspension adjustments). Designed to fit snugly over the decoupling pin (diameter: 39mm, length: 125mm) and its mounting bracket, it creates a sealed barrier against road debris (gravel, mud), water, road salt, and dust. This prevents contaminants from infiltrating the pin’s sliding surfaces, reducing corrosion by 91% and mechanical jamming by 89% compared to uncovered pins—extending the component’s service life by 3.5-4.5 years. It also preserves the pin’s lubrication layer, ensuring smooth operation and avoiding costly downtime from seized decoupling mechanisms in heavy-duty scenarios like long-haul hauling or construction

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Durable TPO+EPDM Blend: Withstanding Harsh Under-Vehicle Conditions
Constructed from a high-performance blend of thermoplastic olefin (TPO) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) (ratio 80:20), the 8406040-C6100 cover balances rigidity for shape retention and flexibility for impact resistance. With a thickness of 4.3mm, the material exhibits excellent low-temperature toughness (notched Izod impact strength of 8.4 kJ/m² at -35°C), preventing cracking in freezing climates, and high-temperature stability (resistant to warping at 90°C) during summer heat or under-vehicle heat radiation. The EPDM component enhances chemical resistance, withstanding degradation from diesel, brake fluid, and road salts even after 650 hours of exposure. Infused with UV-stabilizers, the blend passes 2200-hour xenon lamp aging tests with no brittleness or color fading, ensuring durability in outdoor, under-vehicle environments for over 7.5 years—outperforming low-grade plastic covers by 45%
OE-Grade Precision Fit: Seamless Integration with Dongfeng GX Systems
Exclusively tailored for Dongfeng GX heavy-duty trucks (including cargo, long-haul, and dump variants), the 8406040-C6100 cover strictly adheres to original equipment (OE) specifications. Manufactured using 3D laser scanning of the GX’s right decoupling pin assembly and injection molding with CNC tooling, it achieves dimensional accuracy within ±0.14mm—matching every contour, groove, and mounting feature of the pin and surrounding bracket. The cover features a snap-fit design with 4 integrated retaining tabs that lock into the bracket’s pre-molded recesses, achieving an IP65 dust/water resistance rating to prevent contaminant infiltration. It is fully compatible with all Dongfeng GX models produced since 2021, including those with standard suspension systems, requiring no drilling, trimming, or modification to the decoupling pin or adjacent components
Tool-Free Installation: Simplifying Fleet Maintenance & Repairs
The 8406040-C6100 cover is engineered for hassle-free, tool-free installation—ideal for truck fleet maintenance teams or on-site repairs. Installation involves aligning the cover’s retaining tabs with the bracket’s grooves and applying gentle, even pressure until an audible “click” confirms secure attachment. A single technician can complete the process in 3-5 minutes, eliminating the need for specialized tools, adhesives, or hardware. The snap-fit design resists vibration (tested to 10-2500 Hz frequency range), ensuring the cover stays firmly in place even on rough terrain (e.g., unpaved construction sites) or during heavy-load operation. For replacement, the cover can be easily removed by prying the tabs with a plastic tool (included in optional service kits), avoiding damage to the decoupling pin or bracket
Low-Maintenance Design & Inspection-Friendly Features
Designed for minimal upkeep, the 8406040-C6100 cover features a smooth, non-porous surface that repels dirt and mud—daily cleaning requires only a damp cloth or quick hose-down, no harsh chemicals needed. The cover’s outer surface is marked with a high-visibility yellow identification stripe (4mm wide), making it easy for technicians to locate the decoupling pin during routine inspections, reducing service time by 25%. Additionally, the cover’s inner surface is lined with a soft, oil-resistant felt pad that protects the decoupling pin’s original finish from scratches during installation and use, maintaining the component’s structural integrity. The cover also includes a 12-month warranty against material defects (e.g., cracking, tab breakage) and manufacturing errors, providing long-term reliability for truck operators
