Truck Door Not Closing Flush

Is anyone familiar with adjusting how a truck door closes?

 

The rear passenger door of my 2015 double cab has about a 3/8” gap at the bottom when the door is closed.  The drivers side is flush.  It’s been like this since day one, but hasn’t bothered me enough to pursue it.  I did a quick google search and didn’t find anything too informative.

 It’s funny the the article above mentions the same thing.  It’s also unfortunate that the fit and finish of BMWs or Mercedes are a step above these trucks and often with a cheaper price tag.  Folks spend $55,000+ on a truck and cant even expect the door panels to close flush?

 yes there is a reason it costs what it does. If Mercedes, BMW, Lexus made a truck that was comparable to our trucks as far as performance it would probably be at least 10k more because of better fit and finish as well as better materials. When i sit in my parents BMW I am just amazed at the quality of everything.

 

choose what you want i guess, a chevy truck thats 55k has fitment issues and hard plastic interior or 65k 75k or hell make it an even 100k lol if you want the quality fit and finish.

Trucks used to do truck things like work. Now their supposed to work and pull Luxery campers and be luxury vehicles too. Can’t expect them to compare with Luxery vehicles that just have to do one thing. I bought a Luxery vehicle for 1/2 what a comparable truck would cost. I don’t expect to haul or pull with it. The money I saved I bought a used truck to do that.

Worked at Honda of America and BMW South Carolina and visited their plants in Japan and Germany.  There are hand working processes and tools to adjust for fit and finish.  It’s only a matter of building those efforts into the process when identified.  Repetitive issues need to then be driven back to the source of the problem, such as the design or tooling process.  With Production rates of 100’s or even thousands daily something can get by at any Mfg’er.  My 2016 Sierra Texas Edition did not have this type issue.  Your dealer body shop guys should be able to adjust under warranty unless the frame is out of wack...then it’s a GM issue.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
