Default Hood Cable Fix $4.00, 20 Min!

I had another hood cable snap yesterday. I had this problem with my 03'. For those of you who don't know.. The rubber around the cable actually traps moisture and rots them quickly. If you have rubber around your cables still your better off removing it. i dont think the newer models have the rubber.

I have seen posts asking where to get new cables in the past, even some recently. So here is my $4.00 homedepot fix to all those who need it.

Materials needed : at least 24" of 1/8 galvanized wire cable
(2) 1/8" Ferrule & stop sets.

1. Remove broken cable or rusted cable from truck by removing pins top and bottom.

2. slide broken cable and stops out. If cable is just rusted first cut cable.

3. Slide new 1/8 cable thur one metal end as pictured.

4. Slide "stop" over cable end as pictured and crimp tightly. If you dont have good crimping plyers use a Hammer to Pinch the "stop" on tightly.

5. Slide other end of cable thru remaining metal end. Slide metal "stop" over cable. adjust end and stop to desired length and crimp tightly. Should be ruffly 10.25 inches long between "stops".

6. Trim excess cable from end of "stop". Now you are ready to reinstall into the truck.

The pics should explain...
