Product Overview
A long hood that drops, shifts sideways, binds, or will not line up at the cowl often has worn pivot hardware rather than a bad hood shell. This repair kit replaces the hinge wear points so the hood can open more smoothly and sit closer to its intended position.
Peterbilt hinge arrangements can differ by hood, side, and previous repairs. Compare the brackets, pivots, bushings, bolt sizes, and listed references with the parts on the truck.
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand. The names below identify compatible applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can worn hinge bushings cause hood misalignment? A: Yes. Excess movement at the pivots can create sag, shifting, noise, and uneven latch engagement.
Q: Does this automatically repair a cracked hinge bracket? A: No. Cracked or stretched structural parts must be repaired or replaced separately.
Q: Will it fit every 378 and 379 hood? A: Hood and hinge variations exist, so compare the original hardware and reference numbers.
