Hood shake

[rayzer12]

Does anyone else notice their hood shaking up and down a little bit (only at speed ~70+mph)? I had a 2012 2500 and never noticed it, but my 2022 seems to.

Verrrryy common on these new generation trucks. Lightweight hood design let’s them flex a bit. Adjusting the hood stops up a bit seems to help most situations. There have been more than a few posts on this topic, the search feature may provide some good reading on the subject.

I had a 2019 2500 not an issue on my 2022 3500 not an issue.

Only when a big rig passes me by on the highway and only occasionally the hood will flutter a bit.

adjust the rubber stops. that's about all you can do.

My 18 moved around a little, but the 22 is very stable.

Was terrible on my 2019, but no problem on my 2021

I had to adjust my 19s stops. Took me a few times, didn't want to go too far. It finally went away after the third attempt.

I put one of these on each round depressions on the hood that contacts the outer stops. The outer stops are not adjustable and the hood was not contacting them. The center adjustable stops were in contact with the hood. However I could push down a good 1/8 inch on the right and left edges before contacting the outer stops. Not sure why they are not adjustable as well.

Yes, I have that as well. I'll try adjusting the stops.

Good idea. Mine flutters quite a bit.

I've been refinishing an old dining room table and have a couple of felt sheets for the feet... guess I'll be digging out my arch punches!

My 22 moves like crazy on the highway. Had to stop when I first got it to inspect the hood latch.
