Sierra 1500 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Driver's door check broke, causing door to swing free. Several times, wind blew or gravity pulled door on to leg while getting in truck. OEM part from dealer costs way too much, so got the Dorman aftermarket version. It lasted about a year, and it never worked as well as original. Replaced again with aftermarket version, which lasted less than a year. Finally wised up and got OEM from junkyard for $10. Feels like new again!
