Chevrolet C1500 Hood Cable

The Chevrolet C1500 Hood Cable allows the driver to pop open the hood with one smooth pull. This gives you easy access to the various engine parts for a quick check or repair. When the Hood Cable is not in use, the hood stays sealed from the weather. The Hood Cable is concealed behind various panels and links the release handle inside the car to the hood latch, so pulling the lever will open the latch and unlock the catch. The majority of C1500s feature a two-stage system. A single primary Hood Cable goes from the cabin handle to the junction block under the sheet metal. From there, smaller companion cables go to each latch on the front edge. This distribution allows for even pull and less strain on the system. Furthermore, the system makes troubleshooting easy. In the past, Chevrolet pickup trucks applied a single continuous line; however, due to a split design seen in the C1500, stretching is limited and partial replacement is possible if one branch wears. Over the years, heat, grime, and moisture can crack the cable jacket, letting water seep in and cause the steel core to fray or stick, jamming the hood until a new Chevrolet C1500 Hood Cable fixes it.

Each OEM Chevrolet C1500 Hood Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
