2019 ram 1500 hood flexing.

[Twoamen]

Here is a new twist. Over on ramforum owners reporting hood is flexing at highway speeds. Now they had to notice that on test drives.

I know for some reason it reported the link as language forbidden or something so I changed the m to an N in the ramforum name. Change it back or type it. there is a ton of people reporting the issue. I would of copied the exact link but states Forbidden content... never seen that

Al i sent the link in a private message. Maybe Jarad can figure it out.
The message contains censored words: ramforun.com.

I saw someone post that on Facebook. I've had a DT up to 70mph with no issues on a test drive...

So is the hood damaged then or just flexing?

 

[firecadet613]

Flexing - a depression in the center of the hood. Someone posted it as a comment on Facebook - I think to one of the ads Ram has. I'll post up a link when/if I see it again.

either is unacceptable

 

[alacombe]

either is unacceptable

Yes, I understand that but am more concerned with damage. So if you dont have the answer.....

,, 250 mile no damage, but haven't tried waxing or removal

Thank you for valid information

Done

I haven't noticed it in any truck that I've driven, but I have seen a video someone posted in Facebook of their truck doing it. Hopefully it's not a widespread issue.

The link thing isn't an issue, it's on purpose. That's the one forum I have this site set up not to link to, it will accept links to any other site just fine.

 

[alacombe]

Why you have it set up that way? Something against that site?

 

[alacombe]

Thanks for the PM and it appears to be "normal" for an aluminum hood to do this according to many members on that link. I read into it and other brands with aluminum hoods are saying they are flexing too.

I've got my reasons and thats all I'm really going to say about that.

Intresting got my reasons and thats all I'm really going to say about that.

Hmm Interesting

To keep it short, they aren't allowing people to link here so I'm returning the favor.
