my hood cable in my 85 k-10 has come loose at the latch and i cant get to it with a screwdriver pulling the latch open behind the grill doesint open it either.any input would be highly appriciated...  

well then you are going to need to talk to a body shop.  

just put a chain on it and yank... isn't that how you solve things???


Quote: when me and all my freinds get into a your dodge,chevy,ford argument bring out the chain and that always settles it.  

Try asking a tech at a dealer. There has got to be a good work around for this. I have never had to deal with it myself.  

oh i got it didnt need the chain used a prybar tocrack the hood and if yall have a k10 round the same year theres a slit in the hood right were the latch is were u can use a swivle socket to unbolt the whole assembly.  probly for this reason. *jeep engineers would have never thought doing this...  

WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR HOOD RELEASE CABLE IT BE WISE TO TAKE APART YOU HOOD LATCH ASM AND CLEAN IT REALLY GOOD (WD40 OR EQUIVALLENT) AND THEN SHOOT SOME MOLY GREESE TO KEEP IT LUBED SO WHEN YOU POP THE HOOD IT WONT STAY IN THE CLOSED POSITION UNTIL YOU SMACK IT WITH YOUR HAND...MY 86 SUB DID THAT ALL THE TIME (PISSS ME OFF)UNTILL I TOOK THE LATCH ASM APART, NOW ITS NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE.
