GMC Jimmy Hood Cable

The GMC Jimmy Hood Cable allows drivers to quickly pop the hood by connecting the cabin release handle to the twin latches that hold the panel down. Built like a bicycle-type wire encased in a protective sheath, the Hood Cable transforms a simple pull on the lever into a strong tug on the latch arm to allow the hood to rise a few inches and can be raised completely by hand. Earlier versions applied a single continuous Hood Cable, but later GMC designs switched to a primary cable that reaches a junction block with two shorter branches going to each latch. This revision is found across many Jimmy models and both spreads the load and reduces wear. A worn Hood Cable may become stretched or frayed, allowing moisture to creep in and the panel to jam shut. Regular checks help to spot cracking in the sheath. Once a Hood Cable snaps, the only remedy is replacement, and keeping this small part healthy helps preserve easy engine access and peace of mind for every GMC Jimmy owner.

Each OEM GMC Jimmy 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.
