LOL But I really like the longhorn he had... I'm still going through the great debate 6.4 Hemi or 6.7 Cummins before I build/buy.Informative but damn does he talk...

Im sure they all do it, aluminum flexes far to much even when you open the hood you can feel the flex in the hood… my hood deflector does nothing for the flexI figure it must be an adjustment since some don't do it.
Looking at a new 2500 and saw this video. Thought it might help.
Thats what happens when people get paid to make youtube videos…. If they were not paid it would be short and sweetThat’s a special talent to consume almost 11 minutes to cover 3 minutes of material!

Nither does mine but evwn with adjustment you will only stop it so much, at high speeds with wind mine will dance a bit thoughWell mine doesn't shake going down the road.
There’s also a TSB for the fix, the dealer followed it and fixed 90% of the flex on mine. Like was mentioned above, it’s a thin aluminum hood so you’re going to get some flex from it due to pressure differences. The TSB calls for the dealer to use automotive body adhesive and glue the steel “X” brace under the hood in 13 locations if I remember correctly, bonding the brace to the underside skin of the hood. From the factory the hood “X” brace is attached in only four locations at the end of each arm of the brace. This is the same TSB fix used on the 1500 hoods. The TSB also calls for replacing all the pins holding the under hood insulation on with new pins. They did the fix on my 2019 Ram 2500.
Ya they change the material the component is made out of without re-engineering it! FAIL…..this ain’t rocket surgery .Fwiw I don't think it's due to it being aluminum but rather that it's too thin or poorly designed. There are plenty of aluminum things that go much faster than a ram truck that don't flutter at all. I have a LR4 with an aluminum hood that's rock solid.
It is due to it being aluminum if it was steel this design would be fine so the aluminum and the design for it being aluminum is the culpritFwiw I don't think it's due to it being aluminum but rather that it's too thin or poorly designed.
