Creaky driver's door...

Anyone have a good fix for this? I've lubed it, greased it, sprayed all kinds of stuff on the hinges, it quiets it down for a day and then it comes back. Creaks when I open and close it. It's not sagging at all, just creaks.

Might be time for a new hinge. Sometimes the detent roller will get seized up and not turn. Engine oil in a squirt can makes a good lubricant for the bushings.

When I first got my truck last year, after a week or so I couldnt take the creaking so on my lunch break I found a bottle of Neosporin and put a ton on the roller and that whole area to where it was an obscene amount. Months later and it still hasnt made a peep.

Ghetto fix i guess...but it was only meant for when I got home to grease it up...turns out I fixed the problem with neosporin haha

Creaky Door

I too have that problem with my drivers door which has badly worn hinges and put some motocycle spray chain wax on it and so far so good.

The hinges are a pain to take off. You can buy hinge pin and bushing kits that will let you rebuild the hinges on the truck.

Highly recommended. 1/20th the cost of new hinges.
