Question
I have a 1987 S10 blazer,and the hood release inside came out. How can I get the hood open without it.The cable I got through the grill, but doesnt have any wire in it. I THANK YOU  

Answer
Hi Dan,
May need a trip to a body shop.
If you have a friend with a similar truck, you can get a coat hanger, and with his hood open, see where you need to bend the wire, and feed it in to pull the release.

A salvage yard may also let you experiment.

I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks. I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
