Put on some 24" steel cable on the hood pins.
Under the hood the steel cable (plastic coated)is attached to what the pin itself is attatched to, the part thats bolted to the radiator support.

A small update.
I left school today went the gas station got some gas & left & boom there goes my transmission, it was stuck in first & I would give it a bit of gas & it would rev up like it was in neutral but still kept going. So I pulled into another gas station (still coasting) stopped put it in park & then put it in reverse (still works) put it into drive again & had the same problem. So as of now my truck is sitting at a gas station waiting to be brought home, not sure if the transmission went out, if the tv cable needs adjusted or what. Had to walk back to the school (mom works there) ended up getting a ride with a cop (has a sweet Charger cop car) & rode home with my mom. Will post some more when I get more news on it.

Well me and my stepdad went & picked it up my stepdad drove it home with me behind him in my moms car. He had pretty much no problems with it, he said though that it was slipping a bit going through the gears. So we checked the trans fluid & its not showing up, so tommorrow we are going to top off the fluid & if its still having problems we are going to drain it & replace the filter & then refill it.
More updates later.

Just put 2 1/2 quarts of trans fluid in it & everything is fine now. We checked for leaks, drove it around went through the gears & everything is just fine. Its even better than before I had problems.

Some advice on your truck with your videos.. Don't floor it in a residential area. Stay within the speed limit.
I saw your video on YouTube and thought it would be nice of myself to give you a warning. Quote:

Well got my windows done & they look great. Alot cooler inside than before, still have a few air bubbles & a few water "blisters" they will eventually evaporate out. I can't roll my windows down for two days. lol
The sun visor is a 8" strip on the outside, from the inside its about 6". Unfortunately I have to use an ammonia-free glass cleaner on the inside, which from my experience is really hard to keep streaks from showing, unlike cleaners such as windex.

Buy proper automotive glass cleaner, and use black-and-white printed news papers to wipe it.

i have been told SprayAway from COSTCO is the way to go...alcohol based...and never windex or any other ammonia based cleaner... also does a good job of taking off pitch/sap off of the windows and windshield...with the help of a razor blade of course...now if i could just find something to get pitch off of paint and everywhere else
