Installation & Safety Warnings
- Always ensure the truck is parked on a level surface with the parking brake fully engaged before servicing the hood support.
-
Never rely solely on a single hood support bracket during replacement or extensive engine work. Always use a secondary safety prop.
- Be extremely cautious of pinch points when operating the hood. Keep hands and fingers clear of the moving hinge mechanisms.
- Avoid over-tightening the mounting bolts during installation, as the bracket and surrounding components are constructed from softer aluminum.
