Chinook RV

Anyone know if the hood on the Glacier made of steel or aluminum?

Got a magnet? I don't think it is stainless steel, so the magnet should work.

Not steel, wonder if it's fiberglass? or Aluminum.. Anyone have theirs replaced?

Really? The hood on the F350 is not steel? I did not believe it, and I actually went out and test it with a magnet, and lo and behold, it does not work! So I guess it is aluminum? I will need to get a good look at it where there is not painted to tell if it is indeed aluminum, and may have to scrap some off ..

I found the hood on my 1999 Ford Ranger to be plastic. You cannot tell without a magnet, it looks so "normal."
Next time I'm near my Chinook, with a magnet, I'll check.

We acquired a 2004 E450 Chinook Glacier and wonder if the prior owner replaced the hood. It's not steel, a magnet will not stick to it. Does anyone know if it's fiberglass, aluminum? We are trying to determine if this is the original hood or not. Thanks!

My is not steel either. It is original, so maybe yours too. Make it easier to lift up to check engine oil, I guess?
