Had to rebuild the hinges on my 62... there is something very satisfying about the door just going "Click" and hanging perfect.. mine had like a 2" drop P.S. using those fittings was a damn good idea..
Dude! This is brilliant. I’ve welded the holes and re drilled, and welded the spots in the pins. And that worked… but having that brass in there is way more ideal. I’m doing this next time.
@@DeadDodgeGarage good deal! If I knew the exact name or size of that fitting, I’d relay it to you. I know I have a box full of random fittings and literally zero hinge bushings left. Might as well use them before the brass hardens 😂
Cool idea Joe! I just went through something similar on my D150. I still had to slam the door after replacing the pins/bushings. Turns out the plastic on the latch was worn and jamming the mechanism plus decades worth of solidified grease. Soaked the latch in simple green, cut back the broken plastic/Teflon and the door now shuts like a new car. Both my doors also had stress cracks around interior door handle that needed to be welded. I lined the interior of the door with cheap Amazon Killmat, including between the mirror support and the door skin and where the latch rod passes close to the interior skin. My doors now closes like a Lexus and no more "sproing" noises when shut. :)
Very resourceful and clever way to repair that door hinge. I bought a bushing kit a few years ago but have never installed it yet on my challenger. I need to do that.
Very helpful video and genius solution. I need to try this to fix a 43 year old hinge that I already used the brass bushing method 40 years ago that only lasted a few years. Thank you for this video!
@@JustMoparJoe just so you know Joe, because I have been watching your videos, you have steered me to many of your No Name Nationals car community as resources of knowledge for my own Mopar. I have been taking notes over the years between your videos and many other’s videos to help me with my future mods and all y’all have been great help to me in gathering the right parts over time. I would have made so many mistakes buying the wrong parts had I just jumped right in without your help and your community’s help. So I want to shout out a BIG THANK YOU for helping guys like me more than you know. Rock-on “JustMoparJoe”!!
I just came across your channel and watched your series on the blue meanie. I was instilled a love of Dodge trucks by my late dad. I currently drive a 93 d150 extended cab with the magnum 318 and 4spd auto trans. Just turned over 300k miles and is my daily driver when I'm not having to maintain it. It's far from perfect, but it is my favorite ram to date. Last year of the old body style, actually built in the last couple months of production. I just want to say thank you for showing a guy like me, that doesn't have a bunch of money, or a fully furnished shop or garage, that you can still work on your ride and improve it, with some extra time and extra effort.
@JustMoparJoe I plan on doing just that a little later. I am in the process of installing new front timing cover seal and harmonic balancer on my truck. I couldn't help but notice that there were Arkansas plates on the blue meanie, as I myself reside in central Arkansas.
Hey there, Joe did you know that using mineral spirits is best for drilling soft metals copper, bronze? A lot machinist use this technique and surprisingly a lot don't know about it. Toolroom jibber jabber. That Ram charger is beautiful and glad you're working on it 😄😊
Hey Joe, Tim here, find u some Tap Magic.....AWESOME cuttin oil......the squeel was makin me cringe......and brass cuts SUPER fast......u drill bit needs a sharpening, but u shud find u some tap magic cutting oil....YOU WONT REGRET THE EFFORT!!!..i've used it for years, have worked in a # of machine shops, TAP MAGIC!!.....find it brother, u'll be happy ya did!!!....NEAT fix btw, which i WHY i want you to find the Tap Magic......we have a nice sized can in the shop!!
Been meaning to fix the sagging doors on the 81 W250 since 2011. It's actually not so bad. You gotta pick up on the door handle to open um, so people think it's locked. Opens from the inside normally. Minnesota road salt is killing it slowly anyway. Probably just leave it another 13 years and reassess the situation. 🤣
@@JustMoparJoe Hey Joe, Tim here, ok, just ordered me 3 shirts.....2 of ur newest, and one older dude, all SMALLS!!!..hope it all works, as my card says it went thru......TY brother, and again, find u that TapMagic......its just a superb cutting oil for ALL metals......PEACE my brother!!
@@JustMoparJoe oh, it was all thru ETSY, is that ok??, thats what came up in the description link......i wanted YOU to get the $......hope its all good, ot a set a Benji on fire.....ugh!!
Yeah well that's an easy fix on the AC....no electronic blend door actuators on those! 😂😂😂... Good old tech...man I got three sets of hinges for Ramchagers...and yeah the one I drive driver side lower needs done but I can't stop driving it.... To fix it lol 😂... Nice work Joe.... Try to stay cool....hot Joe 😎
Nice at home diy repair! It's fun to fix stuff using what supplies are sitting around in the garage. Keeps you're mind sharp and your wallet fatter....
A 2nd btw, i sharpen my own drill bits, if u know what ur doin, u DONT need the drill doctor machine......i've sharpened my own, with AWESOME results for 20 yrs......jus sayin.....ok, sorry to blab so much
Hey I have all size shirts and drill bits! Check out the link in description if you feel inclined. Thanks for the support and all comments are welcome!
@@natehull7221 no sir I did not. The inner bolts were behind a plastic plug, behind the kick panel. The outers were accessed with a ratchet wrench and a 1/4” drive swivel socket 9/16”
@@JustMoparJoe good to know! I think either something is wrong with the bushing kit or the hinge got bent when it got pulled open too far. I was hesitant bc of the fender issue, as always thanks joe, love ur stuff!
Nothing over than just closing the door easy and it’s closed I hate passengers that slam door they get out and pull a hulk on door don’t worry I tell them to not slam nothing harder on a door than slamming it
@@JustMoparJoe I agree my dad was the same a Mopar guy miss him bitching at me he used to sneak out and check my oil in my 67 fs 383 barracuda but I surprised him I kept oil changed at to the line all the time nothing more important than your oil in a car especially a muscle car with a little power but important in a junk Honda as a Mopar
Improvisation is how things shall be done from hence forth. I mean with all the Chinese garbage and all, best to make your own stuff and ensure you know how it works
He don't need no stinkin' hinge kit! He's Mopar Joe! Believe it!
Haha! Thanks
That’s what a mechanic does . He fixes things . Great video . That sounds like a new truck door closing now .
Thanks Terry! Looking forward to Red Express soon!

Now that is a great fix for door hinge bushings. Great video Joe!
Thanks Brother!
Great idea Joe, I was thinking of sending my hinges in to be rebuilt 😊 ingenious!
Thanks buddy!
“And I looked closer”… see what happens when you look closer. lol
Nicely done…
Haha! That’d make a t shirt 😂
Genius fix!
Thank you!
I need to do this on all my cars and trucks. 😂
Mine too! 😂
Very resourceful and clever way to repair that door hinge. I bought a bushing kit a few years ago but have never installed it yet on my challenger. I need to do that.
Glad it was helpful! I think this gave it 3x the surface area of the bushings.
That's thinking outside the box, good job Joe.
Thanks Jeff!
Big improvement on the door hinges,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thanks Donald

Great fix for a common problem. I have an almost identical Ramcharger, same two tone brown even.
Awesome! This one had a full repaint back in the 90’s or early 2000’s.
Thanks for the tip Joe....always looking forward to seeing more content....thanks...🔧🔧👍

Way to think outside the box! Parts shortages and back orders are a problem.
Absolutely! Only 3 days away from everywhere 😂
That`s some good stuff right there
Thank you! Now on to the next step
That's good work!
Thanks Brother Brad!
Thats a nice ride

😂 security system!
@JustMoparJoe Yup, between that, the manual transmission and choke, there's really no need to take the keys out.
Here’s a tip for you if you use brake grease it don’t attack dirt and dust like regular grease and it silicone based so it bonds to the metal.
@@jimmyford796 very good tip! I always learn something from viewers. I will try to keep some in the tool box
Btw, i'm a small dude, maybe u cud get a few small t'shirts.....i'd scarf 'em up.....PEACE my brother......TAP MAGIC!!!....wonderful shi%

@@JustMoparJoe 🤣😂
Super hot Joe it’s catchy or how ever you spell it
Great idea! Plus, new parts are garbage, and this will most likely last for years!
Thanks Jason!
Brass is a lot softer than the bronze bushings.
😮😢🙀
Yes sir I believe it. I think I tripled the surface area for the pin to contact. Hopefully that offsets the problem.
File that under "why didn't I think of that"
Quick, cheap, and done! Thanks buddy!
