Does anyone have an aftermarket source for door hinges or pins on dodge trucks. my driver side hinges are worn badly and chrysler wants two arms and a leg for each hinge and does not sell pins for them.

www.rockauto.com is the place where I buy all my parts if I can wait to have them shipping to me. they have pins and bushings for like $5 no hinges though. it's a great site for parts. And No I don't have anything to do with the rock auto site this is not a add.

LMC has a door pin kit for $15 I believe.

I just got a set of pins and bushings from the 'help' section in the local auto parts place.
I still find that after replacing them that theres play in the hinges. I had to put stacks of washers between the hinge and door to get the alignment right.

i have tried the "help" pins and they aren't even close. I will try the rockauto site and lmc. if anyone comes across anything else let me know. thanks

I bought a set of pins and bushings off a guy on e-bay. Claimed he was an engineer and that the pins were hardened and the bushings were bronze. the install was a little complicated but wow what a difference. I don't think I'll ever wear them out again!

Im interested too as my drivers door has 376,000 miles of abuse and is annoying to shut and squeaks like crazy

I did the same thing and the pins work great. The install wasn't too bad - you are pretty much removing your door so be ready with supports, etc... If memory serves, the guy's ebay name was Pussow?! The kits was only $30-40. It was worth it for the final product.

I got the pins/bushings from the "Help" section... worked well for the last several years.

You leave the hinge installed on the truck, and can remove the door side, IIRC ... certainly, removing the truck side of the hinge is a HUGE PITA.
