Description
Product Overview
The Hood Pivot Bolt Kit F2315273C replaces 23-15273 and is listed as a Fleet Choice aftermarket part. It is used with the hood pivot hardware that lets the hood move through its opening and closing range.
When the pivot hardware becomes worn or damaged, the hood can develop unwanted movement or become harder to position correctly.
What the Part Does
The pivot bolt kit provides the hardware needed at the hood pivot connection. This is one of the points that takes repeated movement whenever the hood is opened for inspections, maintenance or repairs.
Good pivot hardware keeps the hood connection secure while still allowing the hood to move as intended.
Common Problems This Part Solves
Worn pivot hardware can contribute to hood movement, looseness or alignment problems. You may also notice unusual play around the pivot when opening or closing the hood.
The problem may not be limited to the bolt kit, so inspect the bushings and surrounding pivot components at the same time.
Why Replacement Matters
Loose or worn hood hardware can make the hood harder to operate and can put additional stress on nearby components. Replacing worn pivot hardware gives the hood a solid connection again.
Related hood part: Check our Hood Pivot Bushing when replacing the bolt kit. A worn bushing can create similar play and is worth inspecting while the pivot is apart.
Compatibility and Fitment
This kit is listed as F2315273C and replaces 23-15273. It is part of our Fleet Choice aftermarket inventory.
Compare the replacement number with the hardware on your truck before ordering. If you are unsure about fitment, send us the truck information and existing part number.
You can also browse our Aftermarket Truck Parts for additional hood and heavy-duty replacement parts.
Installation and Service Notes
Make sure the hood is properly supported before removing pivot hardware. Once the old hardware is out, inspect the pivot bushings and mounting points for wear or damage.
If the bushings are worn, replacing them at the same time can save you from having to take the pivot apart again.
Use Case
This kit is a practical replacement when the original hood pivot hardware is worn, damaged or creating excessive movement. It also fits naturally into a larger hood repair when the pivot assembly is already being serviced.
