I'm going to fool around with a backup safety design. Maybe a cable looped in the catch. When the replacement part comes I'll look and think some more. I can tell you I DONT ever want to do this again!
Ugh, I have a 2008 4.8 with about 78k miles, now you have me worried!!

I will try to look at my latches over the weekend to see what options or ideas I may be able to come up with.

In the short term I will wait to hear what you think the cause of your failure was. Where do you live/where has the vehicle lived? Wonder if corrosion had anything to do with the failure?

I might be replacing the hood release cables as a PM because I do not want to loose 15 more hours of my life!

BTW, thanks for posting your experience here, scary but helpful!
