Compatible equipment / model
- Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579 as supplier-listed
- exact hood configuration and strut specification govern fit.
Published cross-reference catalogs disagree on some L71-6008 and L71-6020 applications. Verify the original strut number, extended length, stroke and end fittings rather than trusting truck model alone.
Product Overview
Weak gas springs can let the hood drop unexpectedly or make servicing difficult. Replacing worn supports as a pair helps avoid leaving one tired strut carrying more of the load; use a mechanical hood prop during service.
