Default National Lube Your Hood Latch Release Day

Got some WD-40 or close to it? Lube hood latch cable under hood and inside truck. Another poster had cable snap off and pull out, had to cut grille apart to open hood....

Dont forget the rest of the truck, all hinges, latch's and key holes need to be lubed too.
Every 6 months, more often if you live in or frequent a dusty area
