Gremlins!

Hi all,
Couple gremlins I'm trying to track down. any ideas?
-Left turn signal doesn't blink, the bulbs just turn on
-Hood can open too far, and the springs invert. PITA!
-Occasional , very loud vacuum-leaky sound from the throttle body at idle.

Also, what's involved in removing a body lift? I assume I need to do something with the steering column. Will my 33" tires fit if I do so? Also, what is the stock bolt size and grade?

94 F150, 5.0 4x4 ZF5

If the signal lights up but does not blink, that would tell me you have a bulb out on that side. Look at the side marker.

My hood hinge did the same thing. Look at it. You'll see a small tab on the hinge intended to keep it from over-centering. Just close the hood a little bit a bash it over back into shape.

Vacuum leak - Not sure about this one.... Clean your IAC?
