Power Hood for Western Star

Friday the 14 th Ed and I started the Power Hood installation on our first Western Star.
There is not any room on the drivers side of frame on this rig. so we are doing the first on the right side.
This is a trial and error R & D thing; the engine room is a bit crowded but we will make it.
The Owner Don couldn't leave hid rig with us long enough to finish, but we did get the bottom mounting bracket finished and were able to measure the top mounting bracket and will have this done before Don gets back from WY. some time next week.
When we are done I will take some pics for the Trick Truck gallery on The Big Rig and Semi Truck Accessory site
We will also make up an extra couple sets of mounting brackets brackets for the Star so the next Western Star Driver won't have to wait.
Will also have pics and instructions for the DIYS guys.
Don's truck is a real workhorse, twin screw with 3 axles; He only hauls heavy and oversize loads.

Coming soon an article about the Power Hood II a shorter version designed especially for the GMC and Chev. Kodiak 5500
There are a lot of school buses on this frame; most driven by lady drivers. They can't open the hoods alone and the Bus Barn managers want the oil checked every day.
We are also looking at the RV motor home market for this model.

We always like to here from drivers that have a Power Hood.
