Hood Shaking
At 80mph (where it was legal) in turbulent air behind a semi, my hood shakes like it's on flexible mounts. Both front and rear of hood near the windshield at both corners.
When looking at reviews before buying I had read that someone was complaining their hood was shaking and vibrating on the highway as well. I have only had it up to 70mph with no such shake. I hope I do have that problem.
At 75, I have the shake in the rear mounts near the windshield. I've had the dealership take a look ("can't find anything - it's fine") and I've probed/pulled on it myself.
Having had the truck for a year, hasn't gotten worse... but hard not to notice.

101mph no hood shake and not time gettin there either I just hate that how it feels like you blew you motor or hit a wall when you get to the limit. Must be like 104 or somewhere like that, Would be nice to get rid of that....tuner right?

it also doesnt help the hood is aluminum to save weight not sheet metal so its going to flex a little more,plus i swear they keep making panels thinner cheaper lighter i used to be able to sit on the roof or hood of my truck i wouldnt try it now i think i can almost dent a panel just by looking at it too hard

Can you imagine the current body panels if people would jump up on the hood like they did with old cars from the 70's and before?? People used to ride on the hoods of cars in parades and stuff! I think the new alum. hoods would look pretty awful after that.
