Hood latch
When I try and pop my hood I have to pull the lever and pull up on the hood cause if you pull the lever and let go and try to pull up on the hoodit is still latched and when it does that only one side of the hood pops up, it acts like it is twisted or something. Anyone have advise or know what may be wrong? Thanks Ryan

Sounds like some hood and latch adjustments are needed. Just take a look and see what is out of alignment. Loosen bolts and make small adjustments. Make sue the latch mechanism has been lubricated and is not bound up.

What I did was adjust the latch all the way up so the hood will shut but have a big gap. measured the gap and measured what gap I wanted and lowered the latch that amount. My hood takes little pressure to close and POPS open when I pull the handle now.
