I met my wife after work for dinner the other day and noticed her hood wasn't fully latched. I askeded her how long she'd been driving like that and she said she hadn't even noticed. Figures. She didn't notice when the right front had 14psi in it last summer either. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Anyhow, her 2000 Bravada passed 50,000 over the winter and the belt started making noise recently. I figure it was time to change it anyway, so I bought the belt yesterday and just went to change it. Well, the hood release cable must have snapped, because the hood release lever isn't doing anything, so I'm locked out. Ugh.

Kind of a weird thing to break on a 4 year old vehicle, isn't it? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

if your sure the cable is broke,that is weird.i have a 98 sonoma and i've pulled the hood release handle,and notting has happen before (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .it didn't seem like the cable was broke,it just seem like the spring wasn't poping up the hood up!give it a shot,maybe that's it(i hope)
