STEP 22: (DOORS)
22.1 Check to make sure that the brass washers are still
installed on the left side hinge pins and then apply
grease to the pins.
22.2 Hang the left door on the hinge pins.
Note: If necessary, adjust the door as outlined in steps 22.3
thru 22.5.
22.3 Loosen the door hinges to allow for adjustment later.
While lifting up and forward on the door handle, line up
the door latch with the striker pin and carefully attempt
to latch. You should be able to hear 2 clicks as you
slowly engage the latch on the pin. If the latch is too far
forward or back to latch on the pin, adjust as shown.
See Figures 22.3a through 22.3c. Then retighten and
latch.
22.4 Stand back and examine the alignment of the door with
the roof and the A-pillar. You can adjust this by moving
the striker pin up or down as shown to help with
alignment. TIP: In the final step, the front of the door will
drop a small amount the first time you open it. Set the
front of the door a little bit higher so it aligns properly.
Adjust as necessary until you are happy with the
alignment. Have an assistant sit inside the cab and
once more carefully close the door like you did in step
22.3. Work with the assistant and tighten the hinge
bolts.
22.5 Open the door and check for smooth operation of the
latch. As noted in step 22.4, the door will likely drop a
little bit at the front and the striker pin will need to be
adjusted down accordingly. Also make sure the door
seal is making contact along the perimeter of the door
and the latch clicks twice when closing. If necessary,
adjust the striker in or out to achieve this.
22.6 With the door open, attach a gas strut to the ball studs
on the side frame and door. Make sure the quick
release end is on the side frame so that the gas strut
stays with the door if removed for ventilation.
22.7 Repeat steps 22.1 through 22.6 for the right door.
