My 84 Dodge D250 318 gasser hood is stuck shut... I bought a new cable latch for it and my mechanic guy broke it already... so it's not releasing the hood! I'm hoping to reach out to somebody that actually knows the specific hood latch/lock/mechanism that I have on this particular year/model (1984 D250 318 motor) & what I can I do to manually release the hood? also could use a diagram/picture of where to release the spring action latch and what tools I could possibly use without drilling holes in my truck... I've done two days worth of searching on a few of the most popular search engines goo/tube and I keep getting beat around the bush with other vehicle models/ 2500/3500 series Dodge pickups... Yeah I'm bummed I just did a leveling kit on it and we got it off the jack stands...Go to open the hood the hook up the negative battery cable & the hood is stuck shut and I'm going WTF? Ask my buddy that's been doing the work on it, "why is the grill off" 🤔
He says he can't get the hood open, it's stuck shut...So, that's where I'm at I You can see how the front end is sagging so I did some Three inch spacers I tried bigger springs but they were too stiff... No pics after we leveled her up but I did get about 3 in
can't start my truck and test drive it till I get this freaking hood open...
