This heavy-duty \u003cstrong\u003eHood Lift Strut\u003c\/strong\u003e distributed by FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires restores the lift and hold-open force on the \u003cstrong\u003ePeterbilt 579\u003c\/strong\u003e hood, replacing the weak or leaking gas struts that let a hood creep down while a tech is still under it. Manufactured by Automann to Fleet Standard specifications, these are stocked heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHood Hold-Open Restored: The 938mm Hood Strut Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtended length is the one number that decides whether a hood strut does its job, and this is the \u003cstrong\u003e938mm extended\u003c\/strong\u003e unit for the \u003cstrong\u003ePeterbilt 579 family\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is built on the \u003cstrong\u003e14x28 3-spring\u003c\/strong\u003e gas strut design, the heavy pattern used where a full truck hood has to be lifted and then held steady against wind and vibration. Too short and the hood never reaches full open; too long and the strut fights the hinge on every cycle. Match the extended length to the strut coming off the truck and the hood parks itself the way it did when the truck was new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires, we treat a hood strut as a safety part first and a convenience part second, because the thing it holds up outweighs the person standing under it by a wide margin. The complete strut weighs \u003cstrong\u003e4.65 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, so one tech can handle the swap at the curb without a second set of hands.
