Dodge Ram 1500 Hood Cable
The Dodge Ram 1500 Hood Cable links the release lever inside the cabin to the latch so you can pop the hood. A single Hood Cable routes to a junction located at the grille side from where two short leads stretch to each latch so that both sides release together. The early Ram 1500 pickups were made with a thick steel core in vinyl, while later Ram 1500s switched to a slimmer line in tougher polymer for smoother travel. Every Dodge setup keeps the same tension pull. A quick tug retracts the latch and lets the hood rise. The Hood Cable may stretch, crack, or corrode with age, causing moisture ingress, leaving improperly working levers, or leaving the panel stuck. Replace the Hood Cable at the first hint of binding to help you access your engine. By merely putting your hand on the throttle and listening for a click, any Dodge owner knows when it's time for service. As long as the Hood Cable stays clean and lightly lubricated, every Ram 1500 (new or old) will be ready for maintenance. This particular care also guards the front end of your Dodge against forced entry.
