Lubricating door hinges and pins?
I just wondering what other Dodge CTD owners are using to lubricate their trucks' door hinges, pins, striker plate, etc. I have used lithium white grease, engine oil ( 20 wt. & 40 wt.) and general purpose grease NLGI No. 2. All of the lubricants get very dirty after a short period of time so I clean the old stuff off and put new on. My doors get a lot of use so I try to keep them lubed. Only the No. 2 grease seems to last very long but it won't work on the door pins.

we use it to lube the chains on our atv's/ dirt bikes.
it dries down to a waxy coating that won't sling off and does not attract dirt or sand. you can get at most any cycle shop.

i just use regular old WD40, and it works well for my door hinges.. stops squeaks, i just use it at every oil change....

I use silicon spray---it goes on liquid, then liquid evaporates and leaves a kinda dry slick film..I also wipe down the rubber door seals with it--works great
