Yet Another Hood Release Cable Issue


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, another hood release cable question. I went to open my hood yesterday and the plastic piece connected to the cable broke off. I am still able to open the hood by taking pliers and pulling on the metal bit, but I would like to have a more permanent solution then just carrying pliers around with me :drool: . So my question is, can I just get a new plastic piece or do I have to buy a whole new cable. I have a 1991 sport truck with the 4.0L (if that helps)

Thanks!

I personally would take this opportunity as an excuse to install hood pins.  MJ/XJ hood releases are notorious for having issues... The one on my XJ went screwy, and I just put the Daystar hood pin kit in it. I plan on doing the same kit to my MJ just as a preventative measure.  Nothing sucks worse than needing a jump and having to disassemble your whole front end to get to your battery.
