Do I need hood pins if I replace this hinge?

Hood pins are not required for hinge replacement alone. They're a safety upgrade for trucks that see track use or high-speed driving, but factory latches and hinges work together as designed for normal street use.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch?

Yes. This hinge mounts at the factory rocker points and works with your existing latch mechanism. No latch modification or replacement needed.

Is this a direct bolt-on, or will I need to adjust anything?

Bolt-on at factory points. Once fastened, your hood should align and open smoothly the same way it did before. If hood sag or misalignment develops over time, your latch striker may need minor adjustment — common maintenance for any hinge replacement.
