Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cascadia 113/125 Truck Hoods
What years and models are these hoods compatible with?
These hoods are designed specifically for Freightliner Cascadia 113 and 125 models from 2008 to 2017. They will not fit the newer 2018+ Cascadia models due to significant design changes. Before ordering, verify your truck's exact model year and whether you have a day cab or sleeper configuration, as mounting points can vary slightly between configurations.
What's the difference between fiberglass and aluminum hoods, and which should I choose?
Fiberglass hoods are typically 30-40% lighter than stock hoods and more affordable, but require careful handling during installation and may develop stress cracks over time in extreme conditions. Aluminum hoods offer superior durability and corrosion resistance but cost more upfront. For drivers prioritizing weight savings and initial cost, fiberglass works well. For those seeking maximum longevity and operating in harsh weather conditions, aluminum is the better investment.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for hood replacement?
While hood replacement can be done with basic tools, you'll need at least two people for safe handling and alignment. Required tools include socket wrenches (typically 13mm and 15mm), a torque wrench, and proper lifting equipment or hood stand. The process usually takes 2-4 hours. Many customers report that hood hinge adjustment is the most challenging part - expect to spend extra time getting proper alignment to prevent wind buffeting at highway speeds.
Will aftermarket hoods affect my warranty or require DOT certification?
Quality aftermarket hoods that meet OEM specifications typically don't void warranties, but always check with your dealer first. Our hoods are DOT compliant and include proper VIN cutouts and mounting provisions for factory mirrors, lights, and accessories. However, heavily modified or custom hoods may require additional inspection in some states. Keep all documentation and ensure any hood you purchase meets FMVSS standards.
What should I know about paint matching and finishing options?
Most aftermarket hoods come in primer and require painting to match your truck. Factor in an additional $400-800 for professional paint and prep work. Some hoods are available in gel-coat white, which provides temporary protection but will need painting within 6-12 months for best results. For exact color matching, provide your paint code (found on the driver's door jamb) to your body shop. Note that metallic and pearl finishes typically cost more to match properly.
