   The wind going over it curls back around and this turbulence causes the
   hood to vibrate.  Since I have a black truck I had a 2" strip of black
   vinyl cut and put that ont he leading edge of the hood, you can’t tell
   it’s there unless you look for it, but it protects the front end as well
   as any deflector.

   You might want to try a lo profile hood deflector, works ok on mine, and you
   hardly notice it
