make sure the cable is not sticking, do this by haveing someone pull up on the hood while you try to pop the hood. When a hood latch goes bad you have to replace it with a new one

How can I adjust the hood latch on my Ford truck?

Not hood latch, but hood alignment. I own a 1994 F150. I even own the "book". The passenger side of the hood is fine. The driver side had a bad hood spring link assembly. If I tried to close the hood, this assembly would sometimes lock up and cause the hood to be bent. Must I buy a hood to make the adjustment or can I adjust and re bend the hood by sitting on the side that is bent? you will need to replace the bad hood spring and then the hood.
