Could this be what some of us think are our shocks making noise? I thought the clunk I heard were my cheapie shocks but it has remained after replacement with the bilsteins. Could it be the hood hinge?

Fuel Door
The hinge on the fuel door broke causing the door to hang loose. Rust seems to have ruined the hinge. I found a replacement on LMC truck for $50 shipped, I'll still have to paint it though. Anyone know of better alternatives? For a junkyard find it would have to be a CC as the door is different than...

Which VIN does the HPP3 read from, BCM, PCM or none of the above?
