HD Hood

[polobuds]

After doing some searching on this forum and Z71, I couldn't find any specifics on which year silverado hoods would fit my tahoe. So could anyone tell me what year silverado 2500 hood will fit my 03 tahoe? Will the 01-02 2500 HD hoods fit be a direct fit?

thanks for any help

yes.

thanks timmy. what would one cost from dealer? you have any? and how much?

 

[El Capitan]

$500-$600 at the dealer paid just shy of $200 for mine thru cerfi-fit

 

[polobuds]

Sound about right? $200 shipped?

i just picked one up for 175 off craigslist, got a few knicks from rocks over the years, but its same color as my truck and no dents and its straight, now all i gotta do is clean it and put it on, lol

i've heard its better to stay OEM rather than go thru like certifit for the hood, but i'm not exactly sure why

Yep have on on my tahoe 03

From what I have seen Certifit hoods are very flimsy. Now that's on other makes/models but I'm sure that one would be the same.

How much work do you need to do to make it fit on a Yukon

Trim for the headlights and "U" slot the hinge holes so you can pull forward to meet up with grille.

What do you mean by that. Sorry I don't follow

the holes that mount the hood to the hinge need to be ovaled out to allow the hood to be pulled forward towards the front of the truck to get rid of a gap

I'd love to do an HD hood, but too much work for me!

I was thinking about picking up one up for my tahoe as well. I've seen this one from partstrain but is there anywhere else I could get one from that's good quality?

03Dnasty...sick truck. I dig the black on black, and nice tires! Love the trail grapplers more so than the terras

Too bad it's not a direct fit on the yukons. I think the HD hood really sets it off. Not sure why I waited so long to get one, but now that my paint is chipping on the OEM hood, I figured now would be a good time as any to replace it.
