Sagging door

I have a 2006 dbc with 340k miles on it. The driver side door is slightly sagging, not sure if it’s the body mounts or if there’s a hinge adjustment. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks

 

I need to do this too, there are a couple of YouTube videos using new pins and bushings from doorman I believe. It requires you to cut the tops off your current pins to pound them out/thru

 

French Toasty are you referring to the body mounts?

Thanks Frenchy

 

Mine is doing this too. Is it easier to just replace the hinges?

 

Hinges are welded on @ the body.

1st thing to do is see if it's actually your problem. Open the door and have a helper lift up at the bottom corner of the door (latch side) while you watch for play in the hinge. After the GMT400s and GMT800 pickups I owned, which have absurdly heavy doors (esp. the GMT400/'88-'98!), I can tell you, you'll know immediately if the hinge pins are your problem when doing this. You'll have at least 3/4" - 1-1/2" of play in the door up-down.

If it's not the hinge pins, some body shops - right or wrong! - will use a 2x4 to bend/tweak the door into the correct line. This is not uncommon after wrecks, or incidents with a "dooring" incident, like, opening a door into oncoming cyclist/vehiclular traffic/wind event/non-moving objects, like the unfortunate crap @empty_lord had happen a while back. Some dudes I've seen will throw a floor jack under the door with a cradle and progressively jack the door up until it's right, but ... I wouldn't personally go with either route.

I don't agree with this dude's methods either, just sayin'. Surely there's a better way.

This is also a good time to check your door checks up front to make sure they haven't ripped thru the metal at the door shell itself (This is NOT a video!):

Actually, looks like this guy shows the same method, generally. Maybe that is easiest. I like his approach better.

However, I'd just add: Remove the door totally. The door wire harness should unplug (via 2 connectors) behind the kick panel. Pop those two connectors off, detach the grommet, and with someone (or a jack) holding the door up, unbolt the door from the hinge, put it to the side. Then pop the pins out.

Dorman has a couple of kits across the years; I'd search up the compatible part at their site.

Oh, and this guy shows the door check problem I mentioned two posts up.

@FirstGenVol mentioned someone sells a kit to help prevent this from happening, I think on the Facebook Tundra group?
