HD Hood Swap

[HiHoeSilver]

I know its an old thread lol...but seriously considering this since I can get a aftermarket CAPA certified HD hood new for $ 200 bucks

Keystone?

I love the hood on my 06 Silverado. Nice to see I can get the same style for the 01 Tahoe.
Has anyone done a mod that draws fresh air AKA Cowl Induction?

Empire Auto Parts. They actually have one thats non CAPA certified thats only like 179 bucks, but I wont try that one.
The CAPA may mean nothing ...buuuut I feel like I would rather have it than not lol

I bought an hd hood off an 01 2500 everyone is saying it is a direct bolt on but I’m not seeing it the hd hood has two bolts the hold it to the hinges and my Tahoe has three bolts that hold it to the hinges. Any advice?

‘What you need. 00-02 CHEVYSilverado HD hood.(IE 2500/3500) Notice the big, bold, underlined, red word. A GMC 2500/3500 hood is different, not the same do not waste your time with looking/pricing them. ‘

Doesn't look like an 01 HD to me. Let's see the rest of the hood you bought.

I recently bought a 2004 xl Denali with only 95k miles. I got to have the hood painted and have really wanted to put a HD hood on instead since I got to have it painted anyways. I see where u have to cut the hood to fit the headlights. Is it even possible to but Tahoe headlights in since they aren’t as tall and the hood fit without cutting?

Answer my own question I see now that the fender is different on Tahoe. I will be cuttin a good to fit

You would have a huge gap between the Tahoe headlight and the gmc fender. Obviously the gmc headlights are taller , so the fender is....taller
