Hood Release Cable Pull Handle Assembly 15142953 912-017 Compatible with 1999-2007 Chevy Avalanche Silverado Suburban Tahoe, GMC Sierra Yukon, Cadillac Escalade Pickup Truck

Installed this hood release cable and now my hood finally closes and opens the way it’s supposed to. Before this, every time I touched the hood it felt like I was gambling with whether it would latch right or not. Now everything works perfectly again.Fit great, was easy enough to install, and saved me from looking ridiculous messing with my hood in parking lots. Definitely worth buying if your old cable is worn out or broken.

SMOOTH AS SILK AND EFFORTLESS IN OPENING HOOD LATCH ! GREAT PRODUCT STURDY AND WELL .... GETS YOU LIMBER THROUGH IS REPLACEMENT! 🤣😂😉Instructions to remove and replace on 01 Silverado.

Good product, easy installation, good fit. Great value! Good replacement

My old cable was stretched and wouldn't open the hood any more. I replaced it with this one and it's working like a charm. Fit and sturdiness was equal to the OEM version. One suggestion I would make to anyone installing it, tie a string onto the end of the old one before you pull it out from the cabin side. Then tie the string to the new one to pull it back through to the engine side. This will allow you to route the cable very easily, making it a 10 minute job.

So far so good. And not hard to install. Fits perfectly. And great price for the replacement part
