AUTOMANN Hood Cable 650mm Freightliner Part No: HLK2437C

The HLK2437C Hood Cable 650 mm for Freightliner, available through Wofford Truck Parts, is engineered as a dependable replacement for the hood stop or restraint cable in heavy-duty Freightliner applications. Specifically sized at 650 mm (approximately 25.6″), this cable is matched to the original equipment part number A17-18481-000 (also listed as A1718481000) and is catalogued as the Automann HLK2437C. When the hood restraint cable becomes stretched, frayed or broken, it can compromise hood support, leading to excessive hood movement or safety hazards. This replacement cable restores the hood’s designed restraint, ensuring the hood opens and closes properly and remains supported when tilted. Lightweight yet durable (listed at ~0.01 lbs), this component is often overlooked, but essential for safe hood operation. Ideal for truck maintenance facilities, fleet service, or owner-operators seeking quality aftermarket hardware.



Installation is simple: remove the damaged cable, secure the new HLK2437C in the original mounting points, and verify full hood open and closed travel and cable tension. With the correct mounting, you restore factory functionality and safety-compliance in one straightforward step.
