How do you pop the hood of a 2001 Chevy s10 extreme I pulled on release but it still open. Am i missing something?

There's usually a secondary latch under the hood, usually near the grille or radiator area. Since you've pulled the interior release, the primary latch is disengaged. You'll need to find this secondary latch. It's often a small lever or cable that needs to be manually released.

To find it:

* Look closely near the grille: Many S10s have this secondary latch located somewhere near the top center of the grille, sometimes behind a small panel. You might need a flashlight.

* Feel around: Run your hand along the top of the radiator support area (carefully, it's metal!). The latch might be a small handle or lever.

* Consult your owner's manual: If you have it, the owner's manual should show a diagram of the hood latch mechanism.

* Search online: A quick image search for "2001 Chevy S10 Extreme hood latch" might show you exactly where it is.

Safety First: Before you start blindly searching, make sure you have good lighting and are working in a safe, stable area. Don't force anything. If you can't find the latch easily, it's better to seek help from a mechanic than risk damaging your vehicle.
