RE: Proper Door/Hood Gaps?
Seriously its been like 2 hours. When I do body work on a car I don't accept anything but 1/8 inch gaps takse some time but its worth it. I really doubt that Dodge got that specific with their gaps. My advice would be to find a lot with a couple trucks like yours on it and go measure the gaps.

Looks to me like they screwed it up, basically there shoud be no more than 3/16 of an inch gap. If you can fit a pencil eraser off a #2 pencil in the gap it's too big. That's how we used to check 'em.
Refuse to pay them until they get it right, I'd be on the phone with my insurance adjuster if I was you.
