W900 broken hood spring

When they are fully open and fully closed, they are under full tension. You will have to support the hood 1/2 open to get the lowest tension on the springs.

It will prolly take a few trips to de-bug it!!

I'm not sure on a W900 but on a Freightliner there are eyes at the end of the cable/spring that attach and swivel around a bolt. If yours is set up that way, it's important that the eye can swivel or it will break at that point. Good luck.

 

My only guidance is to quit breaking stuff so you can stop spending money on that thing start making money with it!

 

In a couple more years when your done rebuilding that K-DubYa Hit me up. I'll be in the market for a truck like yours.. J/K man.. Have fun with your lil project there.

 

hmmm never had a kw break one before--lots of shakers do it tho---get somebody you trust and while you stay under the hood--get them to lower it so there is no tension --then replaace---just have to make sure the spring doesnt rub on anything when hood is down

 

Just wait until your working it,.........

 

sit = $$.........
