The timing of this subject is amusingly appropriate.

I've got a 95 F250 w/ a 7.3 diesel. It has been acting up this week due to corrosion on the batteries' posts. I fully intended to get to it. I've just been real busy this week. My wife was just in town and had to wiggle the clamps to get it to start. When she shut the hood, the latch got locked up and wouldn't open again.

Sooooo, I just got down spending 45 minutes removing the two mounting bolts through the grill. An extremely tight and uncomfortable fit. I didn't know that my fingers could bend that way. When I got them out and was able to lift the hood, the latch popped open with the first pull on the lever. I oiled it and reinstalled it. I tested it several times and it worked just fine.

There is a definite sense of accomplishment when you do get it to work.

By the way, in getting the engine started, my wife cleaned all the corrosion off the battery posts. Hmmmmmmm, next time I have to change the oil.......
