Chevy K1500 pickup door

Asked by GuruDDNG1V Oct 14, 2023 at 10:35 AM about the Chevrolet C/K 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The door on our 1989 Chevy K1500 truck is very loud when it opens and
shuts. It also takes some effort to close it. What would cause this?

Door hinges, try penetrating oil, door latch assembly, again try penetrant. If that fails then consider replacements.

Doors, especially on pickups, can get misaligned. I think that's your problem as you have difficulty moving the door. If lubricating the hinges doesn't work, have a body shop straighten it out.
