Dodge Ram 3500 Hood Cable
The Hood Cable of the Dodge Ram 3500 allows drivers to quickly pop the hood for engine inspections while preventing damage to critical parts of the latch. The Hood Cable extends from the cabin release handle to a junction and continues on to twin latches. The ingenious design converts a simple pull on a lever into a direct tug that frees the catch so the panel can lift. Over the years, Ram 3500 trucks have made good use of the same plain steel-wire sheathed style rather than multiple versions. There are two linked sections that handle the separate latch points, thus creating a split design that spreads force evenly across the wide hood. A Ram 3500 owner may be unable to open their hood due to stretching or fraying of the inner wire, which can be avoided by preventing exposure to road grime and moisture that are known to crack the protective casing. Whenever the Hood Cable is replaced, normal operation is restored and prying damage is avoided. Regular inspection of any Dodge-built Ram 3500 keeps the Hood Cable functional, and strict adherence to Dodge service intervals will lengthen the life of this Hood Cable assembly and the entire Dodge engine bay.
