I Fixed my Hood that was Raising in the back!!!
Now I don't suggest anyone else try this, but this fixed my hood hinge problem....lol
When I was getting ready for my trip back to Phx, I was cleaning out the burb and checking the fluids. It was 2 am in the morning, and I left the doors open and the hood up by about an inch. I figured I would finish up in the morning. I thought the doors being open, would remind me that the hood was open.................................. Wrong. I got in the truck to run an errand. I got on the main drag and got up to about 30 mph, then all of a sudden I heard a woooosh. I knew immediately and slammed on the brakes, but it was to late! I thought, oh god I screwed up my hood. I got out and shut it expecting the worse. The hood alligned perfectly with out the rising back!!!!! I can find no damage on the hood  Cheap fix!!!! It has made it 1900 miles back to Phx and it still opens and shuts perfect......

Funny thing is that how you adjust a trunk lid when the back edge sits too high. (Not driving with it open) but by pushing the lid firmly open. It gets the back edge to come down.
I never thought of it working with a hood! LOL
