M923A2 Door hinge adjustment

[twisted60]

Need help to "align" door.

Yesterday I pulled the drivers side door to fix a broken hinge bolt that froze in the hinge. I had to take the hinge to a local welding shop for tooling to pull stuck bolt, all went well and I put everything back together and hung the door but now the bottom rear of the door drags when closing. I can not find a procedure in the TM's to align the door.

Any tricks to align the door ?

Thanks

Portapower to widen the opening. I've had to do it a few times when I put new doors in.

I am using the same door, it fit fine before, there must be a way to align it so that it does not drag on door frame. I've tried loosening the screws on the hinges and lifting the door up in the rear then re tightening the screws but maybe I don't have the right order. Top first the bottom or ???

Sounds like you need to adjust the triangle shaped guide onthe rear to pickup the rear a little and might swap the upper and lower hinges

On some doors I had to heat up the hing and bend it the way you need, does not take much.
Also I removed it from the truck to heat it up.

Big thanks to CSM Davis, I tried swapping the hinge's as he suggested. I swapped the half's that mount to the frame, placed a paint stir stick under door, closed it and dropped the hinge bolts in. Everything bolted back together and lined up perfect.

Note to anyone needing to work on doors, mark the hinges, save yourself some trouble later.
