Freightliner Cascadia 113/125 Hood Replace Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cascadia 113/125 Hood Replacement Parts

Will these hood parts fit both the Cascadia 113 and 125 models?

Many hood components are shared between the 113 and 125 models since they use the same cab and hood architecture, but always check the specific fitment notes on each product listing. Some brackets, latches, or trim pieces may vary by model year or cab configuration, so confirming your VIN or existing part number before ordering helps avoid a mismatch.

Are these replacement hood parts OEM or aftermarket?

Our catalog includes a mix of OEM and quality aftermarket hood components. Aftermarket parts are built to match OEM fit and function at a lower cost, while OEM parts guarantee exact factory specifications. Each listing specifies whether the part is OEM or aftermarket so you can choose based on your budget and preference.

What material are the hood panels and components made from?

Most Cascadia hood panels are constructed from fiberglass or SMC (sheet molded composite), which is standard for this truck line. Smaller components like latches, hinges, and brackets are typically metal or heavy-duty plastic. Material details are listed on each product page so you know exactly what you're getting.

Do these hood parts come pre-painted or primed?

Hood panels generally ship unpainted or in primer gray, allowing you to paint and finish them to match your truck's color. If a specific part is available pre-painted or gel-coated, that will be clearly noted in the product description.

Can I install these hood parts myself, or do I need a professional?

Smaller components like hinges, latches, mirrors brackets, and trim pieces are generally straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools. Full hood panel replacement is more involved, often requiring alignment adjustments and sometimes a second person to handle the size and weight of the panel. If you're unsure about the complexity of a specific repair, a truck body shop or qualified technician can ensure proper fit and function.
