How to Install Cervini's SRT-10 Style Hood - Unpainted (02-08 RAM 1500) on your Dodge RAM

STEP 1: Adjust hood until proper alignment with matching panels is achieved.

STEP 2: Adjust primary latch until it fits onto the latch bar on the hood without hitting any perimeter edges of the opening. Make sure when the hood is closed you can hear the latch “click” onto the hood.

STEP 3: After you here it click, test it to be sure it’s working properly by grabbing the front edge of the hood and slowly pulling upward with a steady even pressure. If the hood opens it’s not adjusted properly; repeat STEP 2 until hood cannot be pulled open after it’s closed.

STEP 4: Transfer your grille to our hood.

WARNING: MAKE SURE SAFETY CATCH IS INSTALLED & WORKING PROPERLY!

STEP 5: Bolt on your safety catch. Make sure the safety catch hook grabs onto its matching bracket mounted on the radiator support. To ensure the safety catch is working properly, close the hood, pull the hood release from inside the truck and the hood will partially open. Slowly pull upward on the hood and jiggle it at the same time. If it opens without pulling the safety catch lever then it needs to be readjusted. The safety catch prevents the hood from opening in the event the primary latch fails.

STEP 6: Locate the hood stoppers located on each side of the radiator support. Adjust upward until they apply a small amount of pressure to the underside of the hood when it is closed. This will prevent the hood from shaking or rocking.

STEP 7: Remove the underhood light and install on your Cervini hood using the provided flat head phillips screw. Do not use the factory screw, it will crack the gelcoat. 3656 N.
