Hood release

Mine has the same problem. What is is is the corner supports (the rubber shims on the corners) probably broke and fell through the front support causing the hood to sit flush with everything. What that does is doesn't provide the support to put tenson on the release spring. The easiest way to open the hood is to get a buddy who is willing to help you for a quick second, have you or him stand and pull up on the hood while the release is released and it should pop up like normal. I found this out the hard way when my negative cable fell off my battery while at REI in Littleton, 30 miles away from home and had to call my roadside program to get a tow home

Esentially, that is the same thing as putting pliers in between the hood

I can say, on my current 01, I had the little hood offset break on me.. thankfully I never had a problem with the hood latch, but i spent 20 bucks and bought a replacement and a coupel extras.. sitting in the rig right now in the glove box.. I woudl ratehr have it with me incase the other one decides to break for any reason.

The hood is sitting fine, the latch just doesn't do anything when I pull the cable. I'm thinking that I might not have installed the latch back right when I put in my new header panel lol. I'll try getting someone to help me with it tomorrow. I really want to install these things!
