Check your hood bump-stops

Was installing my shiny new bug deflector and as I was closing the hood for the last time, I noticed some missing paint on the bottom of the hood where the bump-stops had come in contact with the metal.

Took it to the dealer. Long story short, truck has been in the body shop for 2 days now. Not only did the stops remove paint, they dented the metal on the bottom side of the hood.

I also noticed the trans dip stick was oily an dirty all of a sudden. They ordered a new one for me. Seems like the o-ring failed.

I would think paint missing on the hood on the bump stops is normal. All of my previous trucks did that.

None of mine have done this.

Let alone actually bending the metal!

So I came across mine being down to far and adjusted them up slightly. I was careful not to allow them to bend the hood. I hope they can do a repair for you. I would sure be pissed.
