Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Over the weekend, I replaced the water pump (made little difference, must be the radiator needs replacing...temps just a bit too high. I was thinking the impeller may have corrosion and causing cavitation. A new water pump is peace of mind anyway). I also rebuilt the door hinges on the driver door. Plastic bushing were worn totally out. hinges now have virtually zero play. But, I am having trouble adjusting door strike of all things. before, door closed relatively easy...especially if I lift door slightly when closing. Now, it takes a slam and sometime bangs hard. May be that latch is wearing out. I have the strike adjusted per service manual. Next is to play with strike position to see result. Just too damn hot and tired to figure it out on Sunday. Getting those hinges off and then readjusting the door is a PITA.
