[busta]

I've got a 2000 GMC Sierra ext cab 4 door...the driver side ext cab door will latch but does not stay tight...i have to pretty much slam the door sometimes several times in order for it to latch and stay tight...someone told me that there might be a service bulletin on this...any ideas??

This is the only thing I could find on it. Note the "when cold" qualifier. I have no idea what their definition of cold is.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
