I'm talking about the roller pins. The apparent issue is with the shoulder not being beveled the same, making it harder to get in place. For me, the end retainer clip would be better. No retainer on the GM. Saw one comment somewhere about tack welding it, but with my luck I'd toast the BCM or some other electronic device, even if I disconnected the battery.

For the door detent roller pins, yes the Dorman products require grinding down on the tapered part to fit.

To me, that means that the part is incorrect for the truck but others seem to have made them work. I used the GM pins and they fit without issue or swearing. But, they do require a means of keeping the pin from sliding down.

Just got my sag fixed with the Cunninhgam hinge pin bushings, let's hope this is the 3rd and last time I get it done. Trunk latch repaired as well. Only 2 things I need now are the screws (anybody know of a replacement) for my hatch trim, I put them someplace that made sense at the time but can't locate them now, and to get used to not slamming my door 20230527_144339.jpg20230527_144419.jpg

Yes sir. Someone on the board recommended them since they're made of brass and are said to be more durable.
Hmmm, this guy says he had trouble with the bronze looking ones, so ....
if you do do pins, don't do the bronze looking auto parts store bushings. I went thru about 3 sets of those. they just aren't right. there's a kit on Amazon with a harder gray bushing that has listed me a few years now and still going

Yeah, bronze isn't brass I guess, but brass is pretty soft.

yes, bronze. Just checked the site to confirm. It didn't take the shop long so I guess it was simple enough for them.

I didn't see replies till now.

I've welded on 100s of cars without hurting them, just take the battery cables off. no complete circuit, not fry lol.

I've not done my rollers. so no clue on those.
let use know how the brass hold up. the Dorman ones I was calling bronze is just the color to me. could well be something else. whatever it is it breaks apart in a few months of use. these others were a darker sliver color and got good reviews on Amazon. if yours are actually brass, like brass fittings are made of. it should be way better than the Dorman stuff.


the door handles, mine broke off years ago. like 15 years ago haha. replaced it with something cheap off ebay and been good ever since.
