    my hood won’t sit down on drivers side . The passenger side sits prefect. Put brand new cab bushings Thinking it would solve the problem but nope . Also put new jhooks with bushings new . Any idea what could be causing that ?

    I have a 379. The hood hinges wear, and bushings disintegrate and come out. They are expensive. Around $600 both hinges and the bushings. This can cause the hood rollers not to seat in the roller guide properly. If you like I can take some pictures of what I mean

    Give us some more pictures. Both sides, front of truck, rear of truck, etc. Being able to see the whole picture definitely helps in figuring out an issue. May not even be related to the hood at all.
