Re: Back of Hood Rising

I haven't had to adjust my hood on the truck but I've done it on other cars.
You need to get someone to help you with this one. Loosen the hood hinge bolts and have a friend push up on the hood from the front until you see the hinges lower in the back. Snug the bolts and check it. You might have to repeat a couple of times.
