Dorman 38642 Tailgate Hinge Insert Kit - Left And Right - Bed And Gate Side Compatible with Select Chevrolet / GMC / Hummer Models

These hinges are very nice. Easy to install and hopefully will not rust out. They are supposed to be high quality and appear to be. They almost look brassy but are solid and appear very well made. They do not come with hardware si if you can't use the existing hardware be sure to have new on hand. They are very easy to change as long as you can handle the tailgate, which must be fully removed. The hinges are marked left and right for correct placement and fit perfectly. Once installed the gate fits right back in and works very smoothly. The weather resistance is important and hopefully will outlast the vehicle. For the price these hinges are an excellent buy. I ordered 2 sets but sold one set , very quickly, for the price I paid. My buyer would have paid twice what I paid so I'm confident my purchase was to my advantage. 5 stars for overall satisfaction.

Fit perfectly ... came as advertised.

Used these to replace the bent the bent hinges on my 2003 Silverado, my tailgate opens so much easier now because the latches are now properly aligned. They are definitely much sturdier than the factory hinges, nice upgrade. Installation was pretty straight forward. The factory hinges have two spacers behind them. When my tailgate didn't fit, I had to take the hinges off the truck and remove one spacer on each side. Some other reviews suggest skipping the spacers altogether. So save yourself sometime and either use only one spacer on each side or skip them entirely.

Works great, Installed without struggle. Does not come with replacement shim so make sure to keep the factory shim. I tried to install without the shim and the fit was just a bit too loose.

The OEM tailgate hinges on my 2001 Silverado were rusted to the point that the tailgate had trouble closing, so I decided to buy these to replace them because the price is right and I did not mind that they are not painted to the color of the truck. The quality of the material they are made from is good, and it seems like they will likely last longer than the OEM ones.However, in order to install them properly, I had to drill a hole in the bed of the truck because the alignment of the mounting holes on one hinge was not correct. In addition, once all hinges were attached, it was very difficult to get the pieces to slide together when reattaching the tailgate. Overall it's exactly like some other reviews here: the quality control is not great. However, if you don't mind possibly needing to modify the hinges or the bed, these are a cheap alternative to having it done at the dealer or a shop.

Easy install and makes it look new again.

Fit perfect fixed my tailgate
