Peterbilt Hood Pivot Kit ZHENYUAN Steel Design

Description

Product Overview

The ZHENYUAN Peterbilt Lower Hood Pivot Kit is engineered to match the original equipment specifications of Peterbilt 377, 378 and 379 trucks. Each kit includes pivot brackets, bolts and hinge bushings fabricated from heat‑treated high‑quality steel, aircraft‑grade aluminum, copper and reinforced rubber. The combination of these materials delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and anti‑rust performance, even in harsh weather or heavy‑duty service environments. Dimensions are compact at 2 x 2 x 0.04 inches, and the total weight of 18.33 pounds reflects the solid construction without adding unnecessary bulk. The kit is a direct vehicle‑specific fit, replacing OEM part numbers such as M134708R, M134708L, 13‑04708R, 13‑04708L and many others, ensuring a seamless installation that restores original functionality.

Usage

Designed for professional mechanics, fleet maintenance teams and experienced DIY truck owners, this pivot kit is ideal for routine hood repairs, upgrades after collision damage, or preventative maintenance on long‑haul trucks. The kit fits trucks used in construction, freight hauling, and regional delivery, where reliable hood operation is critical for engine access and safety inspections. Installation requires basic hand tools; the included bolts are pre‑threaded to match factory torque specifications, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of misalignment. The kit performs equally well in extreme temperatures, from arctic cold to desert heat, thanks to its corrosion‑resistant alloy composition.
