Hood won't open
Finally got off my butt and got some belt dressing to hopefully quiet all the racket under the hood but I went to open the hood and no go.
I pulled the hood release lever under the driver's-side dash and nothing. It moved but it didn't disengage the hood latch. I fiddled with it for a good forty five minutes but I still couldn't get it to open.
I mentioned in the following thread: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...etter-one.html that grazed the relocated horns:
a few weeks ago but I've since gotten that all squared away and I've had the hood open several time since then. Other than that, I haven't done any work on the truck, lately, that would cause this to happen.
I had the driver's-side door open when I was inspecting the lever and I noticed that the dash (closest to the driver's-side door) was moving. I don't know if that means anything but I'm trying to describe everything that I observed.
Long and the short of it: anyone know of a way to get the hood open if the hood release (under the dash) doesn't work?

sometimes mine wont open, ill pull the hood release and the hood wont pop up. sometimes i have to pry it from the side of the hood to get the initial pop. there are 2 screws that hold the hood release in to the dash. sometimes the wire thing that opens the hood is the problem or the actual latch.

I'll post any progress or otherwise after I work on it.
