I simply removed the rubber seal that was under the rear of the hood. It was deteriorated and coming off anyways. Now when idling, you can feel the hot air escaping through the gap. Been that way for years.@Waldoduhh Try shimming the back of the hood, up by the windshield, up with washers. @PetroleumJunkie412 did this to his ranger for cooling purposes, but it might allow more airflow under your hood, to help your truck run as if there was no hood on it.
