Here is the final update. First of all. The new hood latch fixed the problem. I want to recap the situation just in case someone else has the same problems.
When remote start is tried. The flashers flash but the truck doesn't try to start.
I never had a "hood open" indicator. When I opened up the hood. There was still no hood open indicator. Once I took the old hood latch off, I tested it for ohms. It had little to no resistance. The new hood latch (oem from GM) measured about 4.6 ohm when in the open position. I forgot to test it in the closed position. After installed. I immediately saw the "hood open" indicator. Taking this as a good sign. I closed everything. Tried the remote starter and it worked as it should. Thank you Steve P45. Your advice helped me allot.
