Ok guys, as the title suggests, looking for some info on lubing the door hinges. I have lubed them in past but the lube makes one heck of a mess, any suggestions on lube type or tips/tricks to it?
We had the dealer check it out during a routine visit and it appears they put on the white lithium grease. Not a lot, did not look too messy, and it did take care of the issue.
WD40 makes a spray type white lithium grease that can actually get into the door hinge a bit better, might be worth a shot.
I use a white spray lithium that drys to a powder. Spray the crap out of them a couple times a year. Most of the noise comes from the roller that holds the door open, not the hinges.
My door hinges started squeaking very early into the truck's life. I gave them a squirt of WD40 and they've been good ever since. Personally, I don't think WD40 would be the best choice, but in this case, it worked. Haven't reapplied it for at least three years, so there you go.
