Hood bounces around
 

I tried searching, couldn't find anything. I have a problem where my hood on my truck bonces around on the corners near the fenders. I tried readjusting the latch to make the hood close farther down, but did not make a difference. The bounce is really bad if I am driving in the wind. I also tried adjusting the rubber stops on the core support, didn't help. Any suggestions?

I'd start by checking the core support bushings and mounts. Things can get really moving if they are loose.

Bushing are new, bolts are tight.

Do you have the rubber pieces that go between the fenders and hood? I just bought some off of here and it helped keep everything snug

What is the condition of your hinges?

I thought that was a normal thing with these trucks. All the ones I have owned do exactly what you are saying. My wife always thinks I didnt latch the hood all the way. Curious to see if there is a fix.

Properly adjusted front rubbers.
Hood to fender rubbers in place
Good hood hinges

Those three things are key to a hood that doesn't flop.
