2109 Hood laying full of water - known issue?

[Dalton]

I now have a leftover model 2019 2500 Laramie TD. I am storing it for the winter due to not wanting another casualty to the salt used in NE Ohio. When I do wash it, water is getting into the hood between the panels and braces. When I raise the hood there is at least a quart of water that runs out at each back corner behind the hood springs. If I dont do this the hood would lay full of water, and I can almost feel the rust forming....

Is this typical of the 19' and if so is there a solution? If not typical, is there a drain blocked? Where is the water entering the hood - at the 2500 emblems?

Thanks.

Never heard of this. I don't have any water when I raise my hood. Curious as to what the issue is.

Its a common problem on the 4th gen trucks. I just make it a point to open the hood for a few seconds after a rainstorm if she happens to get caught outside. There's nothing else you can do about it. The hood is made of aluminum so it won't rust.

Aluminum? I had a 2014 and it developed pinholes along the front lip. Did RAM switch to aluminum and if so when?. Up here in the rust belt, having the hood lay full of water between the panel and braces is not a good thing. I now have a Gen V.

I have a 2019 2500 Laramie and have the same problem. I was just going to ask the folks here the same question then I figure I would do a search. Bummer it’s a known issue with no fix. I have to open my hood after it rains to let it drain.

My 2019 did this, my 2021 does not, maybe they fixed it

Had my 19 for a year and a half now and never had that issue
