Replacing My Door Hinge Pins (Sagging Door Fix) - [2000 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE]
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hello everybody, my name is Ulrich with UFixItAuto and I am starting a channel on automotive repair and I am going to be showing you how to do repairs using my cars. Please, if you wanna see this channel grow, then make sure you like, subscribe and share. I will be investing everything that I make from these videos back into the channel to give you guys more quality content, but the amount of videos and how frequent depends on you guys and how much you guys are willing to support my channel! Please leave comments as to what you would love to see done and how I can improve my channel!
I am showing you how to fix your sagging door by changing out your door hinge pins using my 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE as an example. I bought this truck with 260,000 miles on the clock and I want to make sure I keep this truck for a while and who knows if the previous owners even did regular maintenance. The process should be the exact same if you have a 1999-2007 GMC Sierra or 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado.
Please inspect the door hinge pins and find out if you need to cut off the original pins.

Excellent step by step vid. Important to note that the smooth part of the pins that go on top are sized a little longer than the bottom ones. You sort of point that out but the wind noise was loud during that part. Took me a second to figure out why they were not fitting correctly. After inspecting them closer i noticed they were not exactly the same and switched them up. Worked out perfect after that. :)

@@ufixitauto5237 Well, this is one of the best i've seen. Clear, quick and concise... and the camera work is great. There's so many garbage vids out there that love to ramble on before getting to the point and then do extreme close ups on everything where its hard to tell what's what. The pin and bushing kit i used from 1A Auto is like the ones you took off with the e clips. If you do a redo of this vid, i would say do it exactly the same but maybe show that there are different types of kits available out there that work... i.e., some with e clips some with a nut to hold on the pins. Cheers!
The OnLY video I need to watch , no need for anything else , Thanks !
This video helped me out more than all the other videos.... Very good narrative💪🏼
A little late but thanks for the info worked to perfection. Able to hoist the door from rafters so it made really easy.thanks again
Best video on this I have seen. Thank you.
Just did this on my 03 Sierra. You sir made my life soooo much easier. Thank you
Thank you for making this video. Extremely detailed, no bs, helpful video. I never would’ve found the pins you were using if it were for this video.

Thank you for such a well made video and no unnecessary chatter. This saved me so much time.
So happy I stumbled across this, my know it all body guy said he could try to move the door a bit but since they have welded mounts it’s pretty much screwed.. I can clearly see your door had the same symptoms as mine and a couple other videos iv just watched. Thank you
Thank you. I never thought I’d be so relieved to have a smooth shutting door lol
Except for the wind noise perfect video. Straight and two the point. I have a 2000 Silverado with the exact same problem.I am going to use your methods to fix my problem. Maybe do it today! Thank you. P.S I don't see why your channel doesn't have a lot more subscribers. Chris Fix does the same kind of content and is at 9 million,
EXCELLENT video. I got these 2 hinge kits arriving tonight, I am so excited to start reducing the wind noise in my Sierra! Cheers brother.

Great video! My factory pins were riveted on so I had to cut them off. The top pin on the top bracket was seized on the bottom side. It took a while to hammer out. If you have these kind of pins I would recommend cutting off the bottoms pins first, then both ends of the top pin and get the bracket out so you can hammer out the stuck piece

I have no idea how you managed to hammer yours out. I trued a drill, hammer, and then ended up bending the hinge. I had to order new hinges. 🤷🏻♂️
BEST DOOR PIN AND BUSHING VIDEO ON KZread BY FAR
Thank you!!! This totally helped my sagging door problem, awesome tutorial!
Wow! A well organized and CLEAR explanation. Impressed.
Great video you explained everything well. You where talking to us and not telling us how to do it. A lot of other people don’t know the difference. Keep up the good work. Have a good one & happy late new years.
Thank you for this fix . Now I can finally fix my door on my 2001 Tahoe.
Thanks brother!!! I need to replace mines
I'm sorry about the audio only coming out of the left side! This is when I first started my channel and didn't have the equipment I have now. I've since gone from a GoPro to an actual high quality camera and have gotten a better mic. I have gone away from doing mostly voice overs, to commentating as I go and I hope you enjoy the content more! I look to invest as much as I can back into the channel to give you better quality content! Thank you so much for your support and for your feedback!
This video was perfect! The step by steps really helped me with my gmc. Just replaced the pins on my driver side and now it closes and shuts as it should and man it was a relief. 💯😎 Thanks for the video and I hope to see more awesome steps in your future videos

I think it's important to note that the new pins with the bolt are way better than the aftermarket c clip pins. I used the set that utilized the c clip and they did not fix my issue so now I have to replace them with the ones you used
Scared me when I saw the grinder. Nice video.
clearest video out there!
Good job man, this is a good video well explained.
very helpful! thanks a lot
Very well done!
Thank you good job
Great step by step video bro

Yes! Good tip! Unless lifting a truck door is easy for you, lowering the window is a great tip to making it easier for one person to take off the door! 🍻
I have replaced the pins twice in the last three years. Oem pins were with c clips. A lot cheaper, but these new nylon nut pins seem to be a lot sturdier. Thanks for the heads up on an annoying but common issue.

Did you put the oem ones without grease or with grease?
Nice video I did mine but it won't seat flush right on the bottom pin.. any ideas
Mines an 04. Had to buy the pin kit with the bracket as the OEM pins were not coming out of the hole and it just bent the bracket. They were hard to install and for some reason my door still sags a hair when opening. And the top bracket bolt isn't in because the part on the door that the bolt threads into didn't line up properly. So now I have to take the door back off and try to do it again. My hinges are tight and hard to move by hand but the door opens and closes fine. Backing them off isn't the best idea that will just cause it to wear faster.
This weekends project looks easy to do but mine are pressed in not the snap ring
What are the plugs like on the passenger side?
How did you get the door on?
Was the door really heavy I have the same exact truck year and color and wondering how heavy it is thanks

It does have some weight to it. I was able to do it all myself, but to avoid hurting yourself I would recommend having a second person to help 😁
Did you replace the hinges also or was it just the pins/bushings?

Just the pins and bushings 😁
Make a vid on ur stereo
My 04 avalanche door is just like this, maybe a little worse. Only bad thing is I broke one of the bolts off along with a piece of the pin trying to tighten the door before I knew it was the pins that were worn.
