Had already thought bout the bump stops,except that when hood is closed I can physicly push the hood down into place on the back sides. What I have discovered, was with a friends help, we blacked out shop with me under truck with a trouble light. He shut hood slowly and i watched hinges. Seems the firewall is flexing into the cab area where the hinge mounts at the firewall! There are no stress cracks that I can find. Anybody run into this before? Somthing else causing this? Simple fixes?
Thought about plating areas inside the cab for strength. Am I on the right track or barking up the wrong tree?
