How were You able to put the bolts in the bracket ?

[@garrettstout5893]

Hey bud. I love your videos. They have helped tremendously. But I see you have bolts installed while the glue is setting. Did you drill out holes in the body to set the bolts. My hood doesn’t have the holes.

[@garrettstout5893]

Nevermind I just rewatched. Answered my own question

[@jermainepeterson1764]

Where did the screws come from I don't see anything to screw it to

[@trustinthelord2248]

What u use to pull the hood off?

[@challengerm6127]

Francisco Amaya I’m really impressed with all your videos Very helpful God Bless you. I have a question about the Glue you use to put the bracket where can I get it??? Another very important question My Truck is 2012 Freightliner Cascadia DD15 I recently close the Def System But something goes Wrong The Truck is loosing power specially on a Normal hill it goes down to 45 -30mph Even when it’s Empty it runs very down Any idea why?? And I have the very left check engine light on... Please I really need your help... Thank you for your helpful videos... I really would like to appreciate you!!

[@masonmanesh6951]

What size bolts did you use to boot the bracket to the hood. I'm doing this exact thing tomorrow. Thanks for all the videos!!!!!

[@jguidry2014]

What about alignment. Hiw do you make sure that the brackets are the same height. To prevent your hood from being uneven when you put it back on

[@xpadillo]

Thus videos me an salvado un Moncton gracias

[@Sprtakus]

Francisco, about how many labor hrs should a shop charge for this?

[@adamotak5145]

Hey bro the grill on my freightliner become lose on both sides I told the dealer to inspect it they told me clips are broken and you need a new grill. Is there any way to just put new clips instead of changing the hole grill because a new grill is expensive?

[@sweetpadre]

Be careful when you go and have the truck washed. Those guys love to pull hard on the hoods and let them go down with a bang. That's how mine got broken.

[@jaredhayes3026]

Great video

[@ironsight2026]

Francisco, How much wear in the the center bar of the hood can cause hood shake? My hood shakes but not loose at the mount points. I believe the center bar is worn bad?

[@dejavu4063]

I need to add cameras on the side of my hood but it has like a shell glued under the hood over steer tires tires so if i used a drill bit it would have to be super long to go through both areas of hood & shell plus cut the shell some so i could have room enough for bolting the cameras down. I never seen underneath the glued on shell support on hood but do you think this would harm the hood any?

[@earlbrown7137]

Where would I find the rivets with the boat for that hood bracket my truck did the same thing

[@MrAron13055]

what size bolts did you use?

[@kevonshay]

Francisco, I didn’t realize that you were in California. Is 7 ounces enough adhesive to glue one hinge?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

it should be enough, add bolts and or rivets to make it last longer

[@kevonshay]

Thank you sir

[@kevingetrich]

Man your the best Francisco I wanna bring my truck to your shop one day. It's seem your always busy is your shop big?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

It is just me.

[@challengerm6127]

Francisco Amaya Hi Francisco Amaya I have some issue with my Truck ... I recently Blocked the DEF system But I notice the Truck is loosing power even When I empty... In a Normal hill which every Truck goes around 65 mph my truck goes down to 45 miles per hr even less sometimes when the hill is little stronger it goes all the way 15 to 25 mph... Any ideas please???

[@alejandromaciasnunez6656]

I don’t see the address of your shop in your page

[@imadahmmad1965]

Thanks mine too same problem

[@Familyfun2006]

Why do you need to replace the bracket if it's not broken can't you just glue it back on or it has to be replaced

[@rootkitxx]

I guess he replaced the broken one. Mine broke at the base, where it goes to this long bar

[@uzkenya]

Where can i find this part? Please

[@rootkitxx]

Where are you located boss? Also do you know the part number for 2015 cascadia?

[@raulduran9204]

Hola Francisco Amaya puedes solamente ponerle tornillos en los hollos

[@123019711]

Buena pregunta pero creo k no porque los tornillos son cortos

[@Familyfun2006]

Mine doesn't have metal brackets or bolts it's all fiberglass can I use the adhesive or has to be fiberglass to fiberglass

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Yes, but probably you will need a different adhesive.

[@timjohnson552]

How much glue do you need?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

one tube is enough for both sides

[@doniny5040]

Why are you not use the old bracket if it’s not nothing wrong with the old bracket not bent or cracked just do it and put together

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Just to prevent future problems. It can break at anytime.
