Yup, TSB 04-18-8. Check the hood for proper, even fitting, adjust the hood stops if necessary, then place a piece of paper between the wiper cowl seal and the hood and close the hood. If the paper comes out with a bit of drag behind it, it's okay. If not, reinforce the rear hood seal with a piece of 3/16" fuel hose. Soap it up with some dish detergent so it'll go in easier and install the fuel hose inside of the hollow of the hood seal.

Does that TSB apply to the '05 MY also? I have had my truck looked at least 3 times for that problem and I still have it!
