Hood Shaking
Hey All, traded my '15 SRW 350 for a '17 DRW 350. I've noticed over the last few extended trips that the hood shakes and looks as if it's going to blow open above 70 MPH, I've checked the latch, adjusted the stops and still have the issue. Never happened with my '15, is this just something we have to live with since Ford went to aluminum?
Thanks

Hey All, traded my '15 SRW 350 for a '17 DRW 350.

Huh. Guess I've just been lucky to not notice it yet? Maybe I'll do 80+ mph on the way home tonight.

It kind of depends on the head wind. Mine can shake like crazy some times and not at all other times.

I've seen it mentioned in other threads. I've seen some lifting/bouncing at highway speeds if there's any wind.
Especially noticable if you are being passed by a semi, too. So far I haven't heard of any one's hood
flying open. YIKES!! Fingers crossed.

Same. But I'll be sure to report if it does!

Sounds like it was a pretty easy fix, glad to see you took the initiative to perform a bit of adjusting on your own. Sure beats running to the dealer all in a flap, sitting in the waiting room for a couple of hours and spending gas money on something so easy to do yourself. Hats off to ya!

No hood shaking. At all. Not sure what the dampeners are that were mentioned but y'all may want to give that a try.
