You are correct usually leaves a huge gap between the bumper and fender. Looks good from the front not the sides lol

Replaced my original oem 300000 mile hinge pins and bushing on the drivers door. There wasn't much left of the original bushings. The door shuts so good now you barely have to pull or push it to latch and it fixed the wind noise I was getting at the A-pillar.
Hmmm... Fixed the wind leak eh? Did you use replacement parts or is it something that can be purchased at a hardware store?

Never thought about checking the slop in my door hinges and thinking that might be causing the wind at my A-pillar! I assume that the kit is good for one door, correct? Thinking about doing both front doors!

Yes the kit is just for one door. Super easy though I did it by myself in about 30 mins the part that took the longest was grinding the original hinge pins out. They usually have a couple kits in stock. I didn't think it would help but it really did I was impressed. My door had a lot of play in it but I expected that since they were the original hinge pins and bushings and had 300k on them the bushings were complete junk especially the bottom it wasn't much of a bushing anymore. I say go for it its worth a shot

Did my own LED conversion. It's supposed to be UV. Although it didn't glow like I expected I like. Everyone does blue and I tried red and hated it so I figured I'd try something I hadn't seen. Pics aren't the greatest but, I think you guys get the point. Will be doing the rest of the interior soon.

I had to take to the ditch on a curve... Old lady in a Buick tried to go head on with me on a curve. Lucky for me there was a sheriff sitting on the corner (there is a very popular bar just down the road) and he flipped on the cherries and pulled her over. She was in my lane and I was staring down the grill... Lucky there was a wide ditch and I put all 4 tires in the grass and pulled back onto the road. I was more pissed than anything...

Thanks for the info, will probably buy 2 sets and redo the front doors! Hoping it works, sometimes that wind noise drives me up the wall on long trips and would be cool if this would fix it!

What was your hvac doing (or not doing) that made you change that out? I ask because I think mine needs to be replaced as well.

You're welcome and I know what you mean the wind noise on mine was about to drive me up the wall it was only at speeds above 45 mph though coming through on the a-pillar

The blower selector would not work in position #5, first checked the fuse under the hood and when that wasn't blown a quick search here led me to the instructions to change the part out........

Mine doesn't blow air at all on any position, that's why I was wondering. My fuses are good and tested my blower motor and it fires right up. Guess I'll give the resistor a shot.

I have replaced mine 5 or 6 times now and I always carry a spare. They are very common to see go bad in our year trucks...
