There is a screwdriver slot behind the grill that will operate the hood latch. Look for it on the driver's side.
dodge truck broken hood latch
go through the grill and use a heavy duty screwdriver to pry back the latch
With a pair of pliers pulling the latch.
Use a set of pliers to pull the cable even if the plastic latch is broken...

my latch is broken on my Honda and all i did was put a bungy cord thru the loop in the hood and pull it to the tow hitch on the bottom of the car and it works fine
Take the grill out and remove the bolts holding the latch on.
i would probably use a screwdriver to nudge where the latch used to be to pop it open
you can get to the latch through the grill
IF the Cable is broken on the hood latch, I used a long, flat head screwdriver. Locate the eyelet under the hood, and push it with the screwdriver. It's difficult, but it works. Replace the hood latch before you close the hood. Good zluck.
The only way i can think of would be to remove your bumper so you can get to the latch, and either unbolt the latch from the core support or unbolt it from the hood...
