on my truck the drivers door hinge pin and bushing jsut decided to give up the ghost..i tried intsalling the help line hinge pin kit and no go the little pin that comes in the kist looks like the right size but its not long enough to go through the hinge..ive tried the napa kit also same thing ..any suggestions..

 

Had the same problem, you need to buy more than one kit. Only one pin and one bushing works in the supposed single kit.

 

any part numbers..the problem i have in the napa and carquest kit is the one ppin that fits is too short. a part number would be helpful

 

I got mine from LMC truck. 1 kit does 1 door. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/de/full.aspx?Page=11

 

The LMC kit is correct. The HELP hinge pins are the ones you need to buy 2. And there still not 20 bucks like LMC. And the part # for the HELP hinge pins can be found here.

Depends on how many time you need to go to the store to get everything you need. Plus, I'd rather (which I did) pay a little more and not have the agravation.

 

LOL, your right. But the OP only needs to go once because of the info I gave. I'm the one that had to go twice to know that info.

 

I know this thread is several days old. But tgothic I would throw my 2 cents in the change jar. I had a 97 that I replaced the driver hinge pins on. I also used the Help! pin kit x2. I also found out the hard way you have to drill out a couple of the holes to get the bushings to fit. The factory pins are tappered and the Help! pins are not. Lol. I believe the top hinge you have to take one of the bolts out and loosen the other so you can pivot it and get clearance for the drill.
