HELP! Broken Door Handle and NO POWER



I know there are some other posts on this but not finding a very definitive answer.

AAA won't come out they are saying roads are too dangerous. What a crock so I guess they just leave people stranded. Cool.

Anyway I need to MacGyver my way in the driver door handle broke off and wasn't opening the door anyway with the door unlocked. I can move the lever with a screwdriver and dried hitting it with the hairdryer for over an hour NO GO.

Unfortunately all other doors are locked and the battery is completely dead.

I heard you can hook a jump pack to the positive lead of the starter and a ground to the brake (caliper?) like in this video of a 3.0:

Is the starter in the same location on the 4.4i? I can't really tell but looks like inside driver side frame rail towards the firewall? i should be able to get under the truck even tho its buried in snow. Won't be easy to jack it up tho...

Any other positive lead I could use?
