ARANA Bonnet Struts for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (2009–2020) — Pair, OEM Fit & Chrome-Plated Durability

These ARANA hood struts are a direct-fit, two-piece replacement designed to restore smooth, reliable hood lift on Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks from model years 2009–2020.

When a factory hood lift weakens, it makes engine access awkward and can pose a safety risk. ARANA engineered these replacement gas struts to match OEM fitment and performance so you can swap the worn originals quickly and get the hood opening and staying open like new. They come as a pair, are built from high-carbon steel with multi-layer chrome plating, and use wear-resistant hydraulic fluid for long life across wide temperature ranges.

Will these struts fit my Dodge Ram model and how do I confirm compatibility?

They are made to replace factory steel-hood struts on Ram 1500 (2009–2020), Ram 2500 (2009–2018) and Ram 3500 (2011–2016) across all cab styles and trims. Before ordering, compare the OEM part number on your current struts to the compatible numbers ARANA lists to avoid a mismatch.

• Compatible OEM numbers: 5160343, 5160343AA, 765288, PM3420, SG314074
• Works with factory steel hood applications only
• Sold as a pair (driver and passenger side)
• Check your current strut’s part number before purchase

How durable are these aftermarket hood supports in extreme weather?

ARANA struts use Grade 45 high-carbon steel and mirror chrome plating to resist corrosion, while premium anti-wear hydraulic fluid sustains pressure across a wide temperature range. They’re specified to perform from -40°F to 110°F and are tested for tens of thousands of compression cycles to reduce early failures from weather or repeated use.

• Grade 45 carbon steel construction with multi-layer plating
• Wear-resistant hydraulic oil for stable pressure and leak resistance
• Rated for -40°F to 110°F operating temperatures
• Designed to exceed 50,000 compression cycles without force loss

How simple is installation — do I need special tools or a mechanic?

Installation is intentionally straightforward: these are direct-replacement struts that install in about five minutes using only basic hand tools like a flat-head screwdriver. No welding, drilling, or special tools required, so most owners can complete the swap themselves and avoid dealer labor charges.

• Direct OEM-style mount points for quick swap
• Typical install time: ~5 minutes for both sides
• Only a screwdriver or small pry tool is usually required
• No professional installation needed for competent DIYers

What warranty and after-sales support does ARANA provide?
