Do you agree with me on that. Thats what I consider the front clip. I did use hood pins on the front, due to the hood "floating" at high speeds. Putting a new hood on isn't going to be perfectly aligned in one shot. And the rubber things are completely gone. Or any cowl hood for that matter.... 3rd gen cummins cowl hood design. i havent heard as many complaints from them as i have Ram air II's. 02-08 Dodge Ram SRT10 Hood|Cervini s.

Alright, this weekend, i picked up a ws6 style ram air hood for my 88 TA, and.. it like, goes on & all, but, it's to the left a bit(looking at the car from the front), and the front latches fine, but the sides are up... Do you think i just need to have the company send me a diff hood, or, would this one work, just needs new hood hinges or some working with? Cowl hood chevy truck. 9l HO, 48RE, S&B intake, stright pipe, superchips on economy mod (till i can sell and get a smarty), EGT Boost Trany Temp guages. Are all these hoods stamped at one factory then purchased by dealers, so fitment is going to be a gamble either way?
Edit.. sorry i didn't read anybody elses posts and didn't see the stops subject already came up.. so give the bolts a few shots. After a while, it just seemed to fit better. 26. ok i see you have not read the link posted. Funny that he won't come in this thread and defend his product. I did notice that theres an ascd post on the appearance board that Rex has replied to. 3rd gen cummins cowl hoodia. Axle/Gears: 3:73 Posi. Hood looks pretty flat to me. It's smooth all the way up the cowl and doesn't have the weird offset at the top like others. Location: San Antonio, TX. Thanks for the link. BUT, the hood fitment issue you, as with MANY others discribe, is a manufactures defect, plain and simple, which has yet to be dealt with.
JEGS also offers many additional hood and body components such as hardware, springs, a hood vent, or other components to complete your project. When you losen the bolts up on the side thats up and push down on it make sure that the hood wasn't up too far, i would keep checking them bolts because they oblong the holes for that reason. See.. the holes are just too far down on the hood, and i'm not about to drill into the hood, esp w/ the chance of sending it back if it doesn't work. Im not stating it as "The" solution but it is possible. Engine: 95LT4, 305TPI. Transmission: 700r4.
8. figured it was either the bar that went accross or part of the hinges. And then see if that helps. That is probably the problem but if you adjust that and it still doesn't look right.. make sure you got a few helpign hands and lossen the bolts back up and make sure the hood is slid to were it has to be. Thats why is my last post i asked him if he had any other pics of the fitment to see what he could do. THE FIREBIRDS FRONT END IS CURVED, AND THE RAII HOOD IS FLAT. I'm not saying move the thing 3 inches, but a half inch or so isnt too bad. The RA I fits a bit better, but still sits up around the corner of the head lights. That, plus it looks like it needs centered. Ya, the RA II hood I had didn't fit all that great around the headlights. Join Date: Oct 1999. It's not a flaw in the hood.
Simple as that, its not an option in my book, as I like to do stuff THE RIGHT WAY. No, you only hear about the bad ones. Location: Minnesota.
