This is the gas strut that carries the weight of a tilting hood on \u003cstrong\u003eKenworth T680\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePeterbilt 579\u003c\/strong\u003e trucks. A weak or leaking strut is the one you find out about at the worst possible moment: the hood creeps down while you are leaning over the engine, or it will not stay up long enough to finish a pre-trip. Automann builds this one to Fleet Standard specifications, and we stock it right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse for lightning-fast shipping to fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHood Lift Restored: The 30.5in Non-Locking Strut Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003enon-locking gas strut\u003c\/strong\u003e measures \u003cstrong\u003e30.5in extended\u003c\/strong\u003e and weighs \u003cstrong\u003e3.6 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, shipping in a 34 x 1.375 x 1.375 in package. Non-locking means it lifts and holds on gas pressure alone, with no mechanical lock to release before the hood comes back down, so the daily walk-around stays a one-hand job. Use it with hood latches \u003cstrong\u003eHLK2542\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHLK2543\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are sold separately and worth inspecting any time a hood has not been sitting closed properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires, we would rather replace a weak or leaking unit than hear how the hood came down. This strut restores hood lift and hold-open, and it is a direct replacement for the highly searched industry numbers \u003cstrong\u003eKenworth L716008\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eL71-6008\u003c\/strong\u003e. Confirm which version your truck uses before ordering: this is the \u003cstrong\u003enon-locking\u003c\/strong\u003e strut, and the locking strut for the same 30.5in application is a separate part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Automann gas strut is intended for the following commercial applications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMake\/Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenworth T680, Peterbilt 579\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hood lift and hold-open\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-locking gas strut, 30.5in extended\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hood latches HLK2542 and HLK2543, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Body \u0026amp; Visibility \/ Hood Components \u0026amp; Shocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Replacement \u0026amp; Cross-Reference Numbers:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis Automann hood strut serves as a direct replacement for the following part numbers:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKenworth Interchange:\u003c\/strong\u003e L716008, L71-6008\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomann Distributor #:\u003c\/strong\u003e A99608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hood strut, non-locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.5in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenworth T680, Peterbilt 579\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hood latches HLK2542 and HLK2543\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dims:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 x 1.375 x 1.375 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 889626289033\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fleet Standard Aftermarket\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automann (Distributed by FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Automann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43024027254855,"sku":"A99608","price":135.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/8035\/2583\/files\/image_1920_e0c34b76-7a2f-482f-987e-58016287cd00.jpg?v=1785427644","url":"https:\/\/fleetpropt.com\/products\/hood-strut-non-locking-30-5in-extended-kenworth-t680-peterbilt-579-replaces-l716008-l71-6008-a99608","provider":"FLEETPRO PARTS \u0026 TIRES ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
