Door pins.

[hugger6933]

I own a body shop and rebuilt wreck and the s-10 was my thing along with Silverados since the late 1980's. I have owned close to a 1000 s-10's that is a ton. I junked a lot wholesaled a bunch sold a bunch more. I have had hundreds of doors off of these trucks and they do make a lots of noises, but look into the roller on the door that holds the spring. That is where a majority of the noise will come from and yes the door has to come off and if you don't have the tool to compress the spring it will make your life full of woe. Also put the spring in the tool and then put the tool and the spring in the vise and close up the spring in the vise then tighten the tools bolt that will make compressing the spring so much easier. You will need help installing the door just to have an extra pair of hands to help hold the door while you try to line up the pins to reinstall the door. great little trucks just don't let this problem go too long it will finally get the latch, stricker pin,and other stuff as well as beating out the hinges and cracking the door shells themselves.
