yes Fred, the tip is for the AD's, the shop manual has some help .... for the TF [BlueChip] trucks, the thing to do is assemble things loosely so you can move various parts a bit as you go, and be aware of the adjustment possibilities using the lower rad core support mounts [shimming] .... there's minimal adjustment possible at both sides of the hinges, up/down and forward/back .... if you have a problem with the back of the hood wanting to push up away from the cowl you have worn hinge pins .... hope that helps, but if you have specific problems just ask
