Description

If your hood is no longer opening or closing the way it should, the Dorman hood latch, part number 820-899, is a replacement latch with a corrosion-resistant housing, designed to keep the hood latched shut and let it release when the hood is opened. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1997-2011 Dodge Dakota. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Direct replacement: designed to fit and work like the original equipment latch on the listed applications.
Durable construction: the corrosion-resistant housing adds to the latch's durability and helps guard against functional deterioration.
Easy installation: no special tools are needed to swap it in.
Quality tested: put through vehicle fitment and material testing, aimed at proper fit and dependable service.

If a worn, bent or seized latch is the reason your hood sticks or won't stay closed, this unit replaces it. Check the hood release cable as well, since a stretched or binding cable can cause similar symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work as a 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 hood latch replacement?

Yes. Dorman 820-899 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.

Is this also a 1997-2011 Dodge Dakota hood latch?

Yes, it is listed for the 1997-2011 Dodge Dakota. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows every other listed application.

What does a hood latch do?

It engages the hood striker to hold the hood closed and lets go of it when the hood release is operated, so the hood can be raised.

What are signs the hood latch may need replacing?

A hood that won't open with the release, won't latch shut, or doesn't stay closed may indicate a worn or seized latch. A stretched release cable can cause similar signs, so inspect both first.

Do I need special tools to install this hood latch assembly?

No special tools are required to replace it. Consult the vehicle's service information for the removal, installation and adjustment steps.
