The best way to familiarize yourself with this repair is to watch our GM Hinge Kit Demonstration.

Kits For GM Vehicles

  • View all options for GM C/K Series Trucks made from 1999 - 2008

  • Repairing the hinge by the factory method requires 6 hours labor and the purchase of two new hinges. With our deluxe kit, the repair time is cut to less than 30 minutes, or if you use the standard kit, the repair time is about 1 hour, with the use of our pin removal tool.

  • Deluxe Kits are available in Factory Colors! Order by the WA#

The Tool You Need!

  • You asked for a better method of removing the existing factory pins while repairing the hinges on the 1999 - UP C&K Series trucks and SUV's. You state that the brackets were bending while pounding out the pins with a hole punch, which would no longer allow the hinge to rotate on a true axis.

    Here it is, a tool to simplify the removal of the existing pins from the factory hinges. It's manufactured from hardened steel and simply acts as a press using a socket wrench and the existing bracket for leverage. View pricing on the tool

Just installed TA hinge kits on my 2000 GMC Sierra pickup today. I'll be honest, I hesitated paying the extra money for your brand kit when comparing it to the competition, but, the old adage of "you get what you pay for" certainly holds true here. Quality built, easy to install and works perfect. It took me longer to gather the tools together that I needed to do the installation than it do to actually do it! Professional mechanics may be able to change out hinge pins quickly with a grinder and drift punch, but for a shade tree mechanic your system can't be beat.

Hi Derek, thank you for the enquiry, we only replaced the hinge part on the door with new bushings & pins. On the body we left the existing hinges and pit the oversize bushings in. The door fits perfectly, the gaps between the door and body are all parallel, the door locks good, in fact it works better than when new. No wind whistling in the door when cruising down the freeway. Very satisfied, since this was the 5th time i had the pins and bushings replaced by variety of mechanics and body shop (experts).

Rick is my man... He keeps me up on all the specials and new stock and already knows what I'm going to need sometimes before I do! Total Automotive as a whole is not only a reputable company but they make it so easy to do business. My favorite by far...the website! It is phenomenal and allows me to place orders on my time and not being rushed by some pushy sales guy over the phone.

One thing I really like is, quite frankly, Jon is not a pest. As a parts manager, I get all kinds of silly sales calls all day. Jon NEVER does that. He will shoot me an email, lets me know what specials are going on, and leaves it at that. So, that plus pricing, are the reason I only use Total for my supplies.

John; I would like to personally thank you and Total Automotive for your kind and generous donation of the hinge kits and pin removal tool. Total Automotive has been an innovator in the automotive industry and we are grateful to be able to use your products. The students have watched the instructor do pin replacements but have not tackled it themselves. I know the students will use the Total Automotive kits and tool and get the hang of it very quickly. I know the Total Automotive pin remover will be an asset to the Collision Technology program going forward. Hopefully the students can influence their employers in the shops to use Total Automotive products, try them and continue to use them, because of the experience they had using them at school. Again, on behalf of the students of the Medford Vocational Technical High School, Collision Technology Program....Thank you If it wasn't for companies likeTotal Automotive, schools like ours with limited budgets (ours was 2300.00 this year) wouldn't have the opportunity to use such tools. Thank you for thinking of us. Joseph Kinch

Glen, just wanted to thank you for the recommendation of the door hinge replacement kits. What a marvelous product. 44 minutes start to finish on the first set I installed. Of course the trick is the tool. Makes what is sometimes a real tough job, seam like child's play. Door hinges have always been a tough repair/replacement job. These products really are easy to install, and the door aligns perfectly.

Look forward to future use of your products.

A couple of days ago I came across your website through Yahoo as I was searching for a hinge kit to repair the driver's door on my 2000 GMC Yukon XL. I watched your installation video and was really impressed with your product and how easy the installation appeared to be. I've done many repairs to various vehicles over the years and it's been my experience that most jobs that I tackled in order to save a few dollars ended up being major projects resulting in a great deal of frustration and skinned knuckles. This is why I was a little skeptical when I watched the video on your website and the hinge replacement looked too easy to be true. I decided to give the kit a try and through great customer service help which started with a message on my home answering machine from Derek offering order assistance and through the order process with Glen, I ordered the kits and received them the next day as promised. About 1 hour after receiving my kits the job was done and I was washing up, it took me longer to hang the door from my rafters than it did to install the kits. As I'm typing this, I still cannot believe how easy the entire job was! The video was very helpful and the kit made installation extremely easy. I am also thankful for the pin removal tool which helped the job go very smoothly.

Thanks so much for the GREAT product and customer service!

I got the hinge kit installed without a hitch. The door swings beautifully and no effort is needed to close it. The installation took about 20 minutes. I had my friend hold the door while I did the repair, it was faster than rigging a rope to hold the door. The hardest part of the repair was getting the brackets aligned for the bolts, my handy awl did the trick. It's tighter and lined up better than the $19 kits. With the design of y'alls bracket I expect less localized spot wear. You guys thread it all together!

I have to say I was not to sure what the out come was going to be after this install for the first time. But I have to say it was fantastic. It could not of been any easier to do and it worked like a champ. This is one easy solution to a big problem.

Had door pins replaced on a 2004 chevy silvarado 2500 by a body shop. They used the GM kits with a retainer ring. Door still sagged and hinges were still loose after spending $ 200. I was very dissatisfied. Went on the internet and found Total Automotive Hinge kit. Talked with Ron and ended up ordering 2 sets for driver door. I installed them myself in less than 40 minutes. What a difference!! Door fits right, no sag in hinges, hinges are like new again. Will continue to use this product in our other vehicles. I even went to the body shop that replaced my hinges, and they were amazed at the system.. They told me that they did a lot of hinge pin work, and wanted the info about Total Automotive Kits.

Thank you for a great product. The GM C/K hinge deluxe hinge pin repair kit worked just as advertised. I changed out the old worn out pins and got the new ones installed in just a few minutes. Great stuff. Just a couple of suggestions: 1: Include a door sticker (like the old oil change ones) to let future repair shops know about the hinge pin kit installed and where to get replacement parts. And 2: A possible modification to the pin extractor tool, either increase the diameter of the thread slightly, or include a sized 'washer' that would fit over the pin and could be used to push out the old bushing either during or after the pin is pushed out.

I purchased the Deluxe painted hinge kit for my GMC Sierra pickup truck after i bought 2 other brands. This one is the best design I have ever used let alone seen for these style hinges. Very easy install. Once installed the door was nice and solid, no play up and down. I give this product an A++ Thanks Total Automotive. Chris

I just performed a hinge kit replacment on an 04 Silverado from a local fleet company with new new kits from Total Automotive which made me a happy man, because I already performed this same job 2 other times on the same truck and same door using the OTHER guys repair kits. Each time truck came in the door was falling off due to the pins being sideways and the bushings worn out. While installing the new kits from Total Automotive, I could tell this was going to be the last time this door came in for a pin kit unless they tore it off. The kit made it so easy to do and it felt great to lift up on the door and it not move. PLEASE , If you are going to replace the hinge pins and bushings, don't waste your money and time on the other kits. Get the kits from Total Automotine. Thanks Guys, James Shell Shell's Auto Paintsville KY

The tool works great. It saves time and there is no damage to the hinge. The kit saves a lot of time because you don't have to paint them. As a whole, it made the job a money maker without any problems with the pins. GREAT HINGES, FIXED THE PROBLEM. Wayne Schmit RNS SERVICE Orrville OH

I had previously replaced my Factory hinges with some new pins and bushings from one of those big box stores. They helped a bit but after they wore out i got fed up with it. I stepped up to the Total Automotive Deluxe Repair Kits and they're all I will use in the future and I will be recommending them to all my friends. These kits Rock!!!

We had used some of the other hinge pin repair kits available for the newer GM hinges, but they did not offer a long time solution. I was reluctant to purchase these kits because they cost more then the others I had used. However, after having nothing but problems with the cheap kits I decided it was worth the money to try these complete kits.It only took one truck for me to realize that you can't compare apples to oranges. I just wish I had seen the big picture before wasting money and especially time on those brand XXX repair kits.

A potential customer came in the shop 3-03-08 with a '03 GMC Yukon that had a problem with the left front door sealing aginst the body. Upon further investigation we found the wind had opened the door a little too far. With a little repair to the lt hinge pillar, the left frt door jamb and the help of a CK99UPKITL, we had the door closing and fitting just like a new one. The owner was very pleased and then told us the rest of the story. HE HAD BEEN TO THE GM DEALER WHERE HE BOUGHT THE YUKON FROM 3 TIMES WITH NO ANSWER TO THE DOOR PROBLEM!!! 3 TIMES TO NO SATISFACTION!! He had been told that "this is as good as it gets". Thanks to Total Automotive we now have a new customer.

I bought kit #BSP-TAI-FDHK02 for my 96 Town Car. It took about a hour a door, including final adjustments. I didn't have to take the dash out to take off the hinge, I unbolted the door moved it over on a jack, replaced the pin and reinstalled the door. The cost factor was what made this inpressive, each hinge cost $80.00 x 4 and that is not including the cost of labor 2 hours vers. x number of hours. The tool worked great and with the mix of bushings makes it a easy to do the work. THANKS Frank

Burl and Nick Ives from IVES AUTO PARTS-COLLISION SERVICES of Tecumseh, Michigan love Total Automotive GM Door Hinge KIts. "They make us a lot of money because of quality and ease of installation". We make lots of money on the labor because Nick has figured out a way to install the kits without totally removing the doors!! Customers tell us their doors open and shut better than when the truck was new.

We have just used our first hinge kit "TAI-FDHK02" here recently and as a Body Shop Manager, I was extremly pleased. There is nothing worse than having to take apart a dashboard to replace the body side of a hinge. The tech involved in the rebuild was extremly pleased with the ease and quickness of using the kit.

I have an 2003 GMC 1Ton tow truck with close to 300,000 miles on it and the door was about to fall off! We have tried other fixes for the problem but nothing has worked. I heard about this hinge kit through a friiend so I tried it out. I thought what could it hurt? The door works like new I can't believe it! I think this repair is better than buying the new factory hinges!

PRIOR TO USING TA'S HINGE REPAIR KIT WE HAD ALREADY USED THE COMPETETORS HINGE PIN REPAIR KIT. THIS IS ON OUR 2000 SIERRA PARTS DELIVERY TRUCK. WHEN THE ORIGINAL COMPETETORS KIT WAS USED WE EVEN SNAPPED OFF ONE OF THE PINS TRYING TO SEAT IT PROPERLY IN THE HINGE. THAT REPAIR ONLY LASTED ABOUT A YEAR. OUR DELIVERY TRUCK MAKES ABOUT 40-50 STOPS PER DAY. ABOUT 3-MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR WE STARTED TO NOTICE SAG ON THE DOOR BUT IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 3-MONTHS NOW SINCE THE USE OF THE TA HINGE KIT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF SAG. SURE WISH WE WOULDNT HAVE WASTED TIME AND MONEY ON THE COMPETETORS PIN KIT THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

I ordered the New Greaseable Pin Kit #20832 for GM Cargo Van Doors. I cannot say enough to express my total satisfaction with this product. The procedure was relatively simple, and the results phenomenal. I just told my customer to have the pins greased every time he goes to Jiffy Lube. This sure seems to be a low cost cure compared to the price of a four hinge replacement bill. I have done the hinge replacement in the past, only to have those pins freeze as well.

Hello, Rick Schilling! My name is Graham Williams, I purchased your CK99UPKITL hinge repair kit for the drivers door on my 2000 Chevy Tahoe. I would like to say that everything that we spoke about on the phone was the correct information. The door pins went in smoothly and tightened up as you described. The door now closes just like new. Another not is I'm not even a mechanic by trade, I'm a paramedic, so this can be a testament to your product that if the instructions are followed you too can repair your door hinges. Thanks again for you help and it only took me 45 minutes to do both hinges.
Graham Williams
We have used your deluxe kits and previously a couple of your competitor's kits. Yours are hands down the better product! The repair with your kit was so easy and the tool you provided us with made taking out the old pins a piece of cake! We've had trouble drawing the pins into the bracket with the other kits and even snapped a couple of them in half! With yours they just screw right in and I can easily go back in and replace the bushings if they wear out again in the future. Your service was great and your staff was very helpful!!! Thanks

This is a great time saving system. I would never go back to the ken-co kits. I returned them on your buy back program for credit against your deluxe kits, what a great program. The tool makes the whole repair, and it's the main reason the repair goes so smoothly. We are even doing them in the service dept. now, not just in the bodyshop because they don't need to be painted!
