Hood Shake
I've got an 05 Screw with the dealer installed bug deflector. I've had this truck since May and it's 1) my first real "road trip" in it and 2) I've never owned a full size pick up before..... I notice it some around town but nothing like I did on this road trip.....the hood shakes like it's about to blow off. Is this just the way it is or is the bug deflector causing the problem? I'm talking about up at the cowl, especially in a good crosswind.....kind of scarey actually.....
Thanks!

mine started doing the same thing after I installed the bugshield, it's bad in a strong wind and if a 18wheeler passes me I keep waiting for the hood to fly off. Someone on here said to check to make sure all four corners of the hood is flush with the fenders and if it isn't adjust the hood stop. Also take a piece of paper and put it in between the hood and the cowl and with the hood closed pull the paper out, if there isn't much resistance take a 58" piece of 3/16" fuel hose and insert it into the hood seal that is on the front of the cowl, this will make the hood fit tighter and keep the air from getting under it. I plan on doing this to mine but haven't got to it yet.
