Hood shake

Maybe I’m just crazy, but it’s driving me nuts. I get that ford is trying to save weight and fuel etc. But to have the hood shake a speed is annoying. Any one else notice this on their 2017?

My 02 does that.

Mine does it, kind of a vibration up and down at highway speed?
I cant really see it in the video watching on my phone
I tightened up the stops to the hood and it seemed to mostly stop it

My 7.3 never did it, my 2015 never did it at 140mph. I tried adjusting the stops already, guess I’ll go more.

Acts like it’s not fully locked in the latch. Best way go describe it.

Good description, first tine i saw mine doing it i pulled over i was afraid my hood was going to pop open the oscillation was so bad.

If you move the bump stops up you're raising the hood up on the corners which may make it worse , try lowering the latch a little to tighten it up.

It’s all of this get the best MPG crap. I don’t care if my bedsides are plastic. At least make the parts that I see while driving rigid.

Drove a buddies ‘17 a couple months ago and it did the same thing. We pulled over too to check it. It was bad. My ‘15 doesn’t move at all.

You’d think for 70-80 grand they’d have it figured out.

Right? I’m glad more people see this and it’s not just me being crazy.

I’ll go to the extreme and get an aftermarket hood if it’ll fix the hood shake.

Don't ever drive a new body style ram... hoods look like they are going to fly open as they shake down the highway..

Really? I had a ‘12 Ram (yeah, I admit when I *** up) and it never moved either. And I was usually doings 100+ in that thing.

I have a dent in mine, from a railroad that I cross below. Talk about bad f@&$ing luck. Maybe I’ll upgrade
