Hood Release Cable for 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 & More - SKP SK721042

The SKP Hood Release Cable, part number SK721042, is designed to restore easy access to your engine compartment. It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs, including the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 1999-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The cable links the release handle inside the vehicle to the hood latch. When you pull the handle, the cable carries that motion forward to release the latch.

• Built to OE specifications: SKP builds this cable to match or exceed OE specifications, for a proper fit and smooth hood latch operation.
• Durable construction: It is made with durable materials intended to stand up to everyday wear and tear.
• Straightforward installation: It is engineered to match the original equipment, which helps keep installation simple.
• Cost-effective repair: It is an affordable way to address a failed hood release without giving up quality.

Signs a hood release cable may need replacing include a release handle that pulls with little or no resistance, a handle that sticks, and a hood that won't pop when the handle is pulled. A binding or corroded latch can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the latch as well before replacing the cable.
