    Door Gap

    I actually got out of the truck after my last reply and just gave it a good jolt. It's not exactly perfect. But a whole lot better. Had no idea they were that easy to bend. Thanks for that

    Door Gap

    I've been all day trying to get this door Gap right and nothing seems to work. It's completely tight on the top, but way off just above the top hinge. I can't adjust it in on the bottomed any more, or I'm on the top hinge.

    Chipping Paint

    I painted my new doors and installed my west coast mirrors, only to chip the paint under under the mirror brackets. What's best way to fix this or just to prevent it from rusting? Is there gasket material I should put underneath to prevent this from happening on the other side?

    Sm465 knocking while in reverse

    I checked it again this morning. It's not as bad an angle as I thought but the pinion is still slightly tipped up more then the shaft. I do think the problem is in the trans. But it only seems to happen in reverse, with foot off the gas. When doors on the gas it don't knock or click until u...

    Sm465 knocking while in reverse

    Oof, mine is set close to the bottom one. But there's a wedge under my leafs. That set the angle when I installed new ones. But because I got a long one piece shaft it's not as steep an angle for the long shaft opposed to the shorter 2 piece shaft
