Question: Hood gap adjustment

[SgtKilroy]

Need some help. Anyone know how to adjust the gaps around a lly hood? I have a pretty large gap on the back of my hood and I'm tired of looking at it. Thanks!

Loosen the mounts and adjust as necessary...If you have a gap at the back your front may be going down to far which you can simply spin the stops located at the front of the truck upward.

Thanks. Which part of the mount though? The gap up front is correct but when I put those bumpers on the front higher and close the hood it just bends the adjuster screws.

 

[RENODMAX]

The mounts that hold the hood to the hinges. Some people say to loosen and fiddle with it to try and get your gaps right, some will say to bend the hinge. Chances are if your rear gap is off, then your front is not perfect. Have you ever had the hood off?

 

[SgtKilroy]

I have had it off before. I'll fiddle with it some when I get home from work. Fingers crossed.

 

[RENODMAX]

If youve had it off before its probably just not put back in the same place and/or the bolts holding the hinges to the hood are not completely tight.

Maybe. I'll check. Thanks.
