[QUOTE="VikingTrad3r, post: 305570, member: 2229"] your pic shows an 89. most likely your gas charged hood prop strut is dead. rock auto has replacement. on earlier models where the hood prop itself wasnt gas charged, there were two small “hinge lift assists” (not the right name. but they went at the front of the hood, were charged with gas, and they would do the job of lifting the hood even though were teenie) that can be installed in later models. Your 89’s gas charged strut is supposed to be able to lift the hood on its own. One finger to maybe get it started. chances are, the last amount of pressure has fizzled to the point where it doesnt even lift off the pin latches anymore. all available at rock auto. cheers.
