You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 55362549AG fits your vehicle.

To work on the latch, first scribe a line around it for alignment during reinstallation. Remove the latch retaining bolts securing it to the radiator support, making a mark for reference. To adjust the hood latch, loosen the bolts, reposition the latch, retighten the bolts, and check the fit by closing the hood. Disconnect the hood release cable from the back of the latch assembly, and then reinstall by reversing the removal steps, ensuring the latch allows the hood to engage securely when closed with slightly compressed bumpers. For the cable, first remove the hood latch and detach the cable from it. If working on a Durango model, remove the radiator grille and the left-side headlight housing. Attach a length of wire to the end of the cable in the engine compartment to assist in pulling the new cable back. Detach the cable from all retaining clips, cutting some if necessary. Under the instrument panel, remove screws to detach the hood release handle, dislodge the grommet, and pull the cable through the firewall into the cab. Attach the wire from the old cable to the new one, ensuring the new cable has a grommet. Pull the new cable through the firewall into the engine compartment and seat the grommet. Complete the installation by reversing the removal steps.

The door and trunk locks should be lubricated using spray-on graphite lubricant.
