    Ok. I searched, never seen this issue.

    My truck has a hood vibration right in between the window washer eyelets. The vibration has such a loud harmonic vibration, it is louder than my subwoofer and amp. I made a video of it and it is extremely noticeable. Only thing I have different on the front is a Homertoshi grill. How can I fix? Any ideas

    Have you tried adjusting the rubber bumpers at the front of the hood?

    So adjusting some hood rubber bumpers will stop it?

    Really?

    By far the easiest and cheapest fix so might as well start with it first. You’ll see two cylindrical rubber bumpers infront near the headlights. Unscrew them till you get a nice firm pop when you pull the switch in the cab.

    That vibration scared me. Is those bolts tight at left and right hinges area?

    No tools needed. They are at the front of the hood. You can turn them by hand.

    They are on the hood here:
