**Ironhorse** · 02-10-2023, 12:24 PM

Recently purchased an OBS '99 Tahoe, hinge pins and bushings are bad, needing replaced. Has worn the door latch to a point I think would be best to replace it. Question: are the after market door latches an option or better off to go with either a NOS GM replacement or a GOOD original for replacement? Not a real fan of newer after market parts but sometimes have no choice. Possibly use a Dorman replacement, any thoughts are appreciated.
