Hood fills with water after it rains. Now with video.

They wouldn’t have added a drain if it wasn’t supposed to fill with water, right?

Rock crawler, I guess by their twisted thinking, we should be grateful our doors aren’t full of water too. LOL!

Dealer told me it was supposed to fill with water ‍

It’s a water cooled hood

Water may also drain from the hood structure. Customer may say the slosh / water draining may happen after a hard rain or car wash. Discussion: Water in the hood structure indicates there is a leak.

If water is found in the hood and or the nameplate has attaching issues continue to with the below repair. Repair Procedure: 1. Open hood to allow it to drain. Ensure no water is still trapped inside hood. 2. Close Hood 3. Remove Hood (side) badge. Refer to Star Parts for most current part revision A.

My 20 megacab was just in the dealer shop for unrelated warranty issues and i had my hood badges replaced for the second time. The shop said they called corporate about the issue and was told to apply sealer this time. So if badges were truely the source of the the leak mine should be fixed now. I know they sealed them with something because they left some residue i had to clean off later.

Pressure washed my 2021 3500 this morning. Immediately afterward I opened the hood and no water drained out. Looking at the underside of the hood there are 8 weep holes on both sides running front to back. If water had gotten in the hood it would have came out the weep holes. It didn't look like any water had drained from the holes.

I am linking to a video as I couldn't upload it here. This is what I experience after it rains or after I wash the truck. As you can see, quite a bit of water is exiting the corner of the hood.

That seems quite excessive to me ! I am going to the car wash now so I'm going to try it to see if it's as bad as yours.

Ok just went through the automatic brushless car wash and opened the hood directly afterwards , got two very small streams out of each side that drained for maybe 10 seconds. I would say yours is excessive for sure from your video !

Bringin this back from the dead. My hood came crashing down on my head. My hood has built up with ice inside. The hood struts aren't strong enough to hold it up with the weight.

I've only had the truck a year today. I didn't know it was an issue until I searched for it after it fell.
