I bought my 2000 Denali used, and it seems the hood is out of adjustment. It was not noticable until I hit high speeds. Air gets under it and causes it to "bounce".

 

Is there a tip to get the adjustment correct?

 

Thanks

Subject:Hood Flutter or Vibration (Add Sealing Material)

 

 

Models:1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade

Condition

Some customers may comment that the hood sheet metal flutters or vibrates when driving at various speeds.

 

Cause

Additional sealing material is required between the hood inner and outer panels.

 

Correction

Before applying additional sealing material, verify that the hood latch and the two rubber outboard stops are adjusted properly. If these are adjusted properly or, if after adjusting, the flutter or vibration still exists, apply additional sealing material using the following procedure.

 

 

  1. Open the hood.
  2. Remove the hood insulation pad.

  4. Apply gumdrop size amounts of sealer into the three openings in the hood inner panel (2).
  5. Reinstall the hood insulation pad.Important: Do not drive the vehicle with the hood open or only on the secondary latch as described in the next step.
     
  6. Allow the sealer to cure for two hours with the hood open or latched only on the secondary latch.

M.,

 

Is there anything like this for the nbs trucks? I notice my food flutter in high winds....not really a big deal, but annoying and cheap looking.

thanks for the info

There was a TSB out on the 07 Sierra for hood "flapping" at highway speed that was fixed by using some kind of bonding between the skin and inner supports. Not sure if it is for the 08s as well.

That is more or less of what I remember reading, but I cannot find it on DealerWorld

Much credit to Z, the key word is flap/rattle, not flutter (at least in dealerworld), here is some more info:

2007 Chevrolet Silverado - 2WD | Sierra, Silverado (VIN C/K) Service Manual | Document ID: 1879361 #PIT4224: Rattle From Front Of Dash - keywords bump click cowl hood ip ipc suspension steer under upper - (Dec 20, 2006)

Subject:Rattle From Front Of Dash

 

 

Models:2007 Chevrolet Silverado

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

 

Condition/Concern:

Some owners may comment on a rattle from the dash area. This rattle could be caused by the engine cover contacting the front of dash/cowl area. The engine cover is retained at the rear by two "C" style retainers. An engine harness that is not properly seated in its U-channel (shown below) can obstruct the engine cover from going into its "C" retainers. This will push the rear of the engine cover up and contact the front of dash/cowl area (shown below).

Recommendation/Instructions:

To correct this concern fully seat the engine harness into the U-channel (shown below) and reinstall the engine cover making sure it is retained properly in the "C" retainer.

Thanks for the great info M. ! I forgot that I posted until today. Been spending most of my time on boat forums getting ready for the season. I will try to do it myself this weekend.

Wow great info! Is there anything like this for a 2003 Escalade? The corners of my hood "flap" up and down while driving. Thanks!

I think that it is the same thing, mine 'flaps', 'flutters' at the corners (maybe something to do with the aftermarket bug shield, but it is only noticeable in certain light, I will look though

just double checked for the Escalade, but there is nothing (unless I am using the incorrect keywords again), but I used everyone that is on this thread. might be latched properly, but not tightly (my own thought)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It seems fine because it pulls everything out of a hot engine. I’m not going to worry about a thimble full with 5K oil changes with synthetic oil. Every other oil change is at Honda they pull the plug. I watch them through the process. It turns out going to Honda what amounts to their normal oil change intervals.

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.
