Some GMC Sierra 2500 HD owners report experiencing issues with loose doors that may require adjustment of latch pins. These owners often notice movement in the doors, including play at the top and bottom, which may necessitate replacing the pins and bushings for a more secure fit. Additionally, some have found that the rear doors can rattle if not properly secured, prompting adjustments to the hook on the rear door to ensure a tight seal against the front doors. Owners also report inspecting the hinges for looseness, as a loose hinge can lead to further alignment issues. In cases where closing the door causes it to lift, adjusting the front hinge may be necessary to prevent excessive strain on the latch. Furthermore, some owners utilize a stable floor jack to aid in aligning the door when hinge bolts are loose, and they may also need to adjust the striker on the pillar for optimal closure. If the door aligns properly but shifts when hitting the latch, adjusting the latch and/or striker can help resolve the problem.
