For some reason the back of my hood will not go down flush with the cab. The hinges look fine. Has anyone else had this problem or has a fix?
Thanks

best to state what year you're asking about, saves folks trying to figure it out .... with the TF hoods that problem is common when the hinge pivots get worn, a sure fix is new hinges, otherwise it'll be a never ending struggle

That doesn't look too easy, I have the same issues.
