How do you open the hood on a 1997 Chevy Suburban after pulling release under dash?

After pulling the hood release lever under the dash of a 1997 Chevy Suburban, you'll likely need to manually lift the hood from the front. There's usually a small latch or catch near the grille area, often hidden behind a small panel or under the front bumper. You might need to feel around to find it and then lift with some force. The hood won't just pop open; it requires some upward pressure to disengage the secondary latch.
