Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-550
Hood release cable broken or stretched? The Dorman hood release cable 912-086 is durably built to replace a worn-out or broken cable on the 1994-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500 and Ram 3500, and it comes with its own release handle. The cable links the release handle to the hood latch, so pulling the handle draws the cable and releases the hood latch.
Signs this cable may need replacing include a handle that pulls with little or no resistance, a handle that stays loose or does not return, or a hood that stays latched when the handle is pulled. The latch itself can cause similar symptoms, so check it before you replace the cable. If a stretched or broken cable is the cause, this assembly replaces both the cable and the handle. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full fitment details.
