Replacing hinge pins and bushings 2004 Ram 2500
Has anyone done this?
I bought the Doorman 38479 kit listed below.
I was planning on using a sawzall to cut the old hinges with the door blocked up, and to do them one at a time.
Any thoughts?

That's what I'd do. Also, use a hammer drill with a pitchfork type end and it'll cut them right off.
Why would you change those out though? Try some white lithium grease first. Swing the door open and close lots of times. Not all the way, just enough to work the grease in. Then add a little more and be done.

Ah, I see. Yup, that would warrant the new kit.
With the door open, does it move up and down with you lift or pull on it?
How are your door seals by the side view mirror, that goes around the cab? I know there was a TSB on mine when I bought it. The corner of the door, by the side view mirror, was hitting the seal and cut a big hole in it.
