Ytrica Hood Springs and Cable Kit for Peterbilt 357/377/379 (1987-2008) — 2pc carbon-steel, corrosion-resistant

Ytrica's 2-piece hood springs and cable kit is a complete replacement assembly designed to restore safe, stable hood lifting for Peterbilt 357, 377 and 379 models from 1987–2008.

If your Peterbilt hood sags, jerks while opening, or the original cables and studs are corroded, this kit provides the matched springs, cables, retaining rings and stud bolts needed to bring the hood action back to factory-style operation. The set replaces part numbers 13-03761, 13-03663, L92-6000-0718, 13-04638 and 13-03662 and is built from high-strength carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant finish for longer life on heavy-duty trucks.

How does this kit restore hood lift performance?

The kit supplies both hood springs and the cable restraint hardware so the hood receives balanced lift force and stable travel. Worn springs or missing retaining rings let the hood sag or move unevenly; replacing the matched components returns consistent tension and controlled opening.

• Two hood springs (part 13-04638) provide matched lift force.
• Complete cable restraint (L92-6000-0718) prevents cable slippage.
• Includes stud bolts and retaining rings for secure mounting.
• Durable carbon-steel construction resists wear and corrosion.

Which Peterbilt models and years fit this assembly?

This kit is engineered for specific model-year ranges—verify your truck model before ordering to ensure compatibility. It's intended for Peterbilt 357, 377 and 379 trucks built in the years listed and fits the vehicle mounting points used on those chassis.

• Peterbilt 357: model years 1987–2006.
• Peterbilt 377: model years 1987–2001.
• Peterbilt 379: model years 2003–2006.
• Confirm your year and model against part numbers before purchase.

What hardware is included and what does each piece do?

The package contains all required springs, bolts and retaining rings to replace worn components without sourcing extra parts. Each item is sized and finished to match the original mounting points so installation is straightforward for a technician or experienced owner.

• 2 hood springs (13-04638) — main lift components.
• 1 bolt for spring and cable restraint (13-03761) — secures assembly.
• 1 inner-panel spring bolt (13-03662) — inner mounting point.
• 1 inner-panel cable restraint bolt (13-03663) — cable anchor.
• 1 hood cable restraint (L92-6000-0718) + 4 retaining rings — cable retention and spring retention hardware.

How long will these components last and how are they protected?

Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel and treated with a corrosion-resistant coating, the components are designed to withstand road exposure and repeated hood cycles. Longevity depends on environment and maintenance, but the finish and robust material significantly reduce premature wear compared with untreated parts.

• Carbon-steel construction for strength under load.
• Corrosion-resistant coating to extend service life.
• All mounting hardware included to prevent mismatched replacements.

Who this is for: Ytrica’s hood springs and cable kit is aimed at Peterbilt owners, fleet maintenance shops and heavy-truck technicians who need a reliable, direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged hood lift hardware on specific 357, 377 and 379 model years. If you maintain older Peterbilts and want a single kit that includes springs, cable restraint, stud bolts and retaining rings for a complete repair, this set minimizes parts hunting and gets the hood operating smoothly again. For exact fitment, always confirm your truck’s model year and original part numbers before ordering. Ytrica offers a 30-day return window and customer support if you have questions before or after purchase.
