It helps lift the hood and locks in the extended position to keep it safely open during inspection and maintenance. Over time, the gas charge can leak, causing the hood to droop or fail to stay open, so replacement is needed when the hood will not remain up on its own. The strut extends to 30.5 inches and directly replaces several Kenworth original equipment part numbers.
