Do old trucks get arthritis?
Do old trucks get arthritis?
The doors on Grace slick stick when it rains. I have oiled everything. There is not enough door rubber left to affect it. Cab mounts good. Door operate fine once the sun has been out a few hours. Passenger side is the worst. Takes a real good yank to open it. Any clues other than the arthritis theory?
Re: Do old trucks get arthritis?
I could understand a wood door doing that
Swelling & making things tight....
But that shouldn't effect metal
I could see an old truck that had a bunch of
Trashy stuff in the cab corners getting wet & swelling
Your truck is probly clean though.....

Very clean Pat. No obstruction of any kind that I can find. Halloween is coming up. Haunted maybe?

I suspect that one of the previous owners used your truck to haul chickens to the slaughter house.
The problem you've described could be caused by POULTRYGEISTS.

Is it in the door mechanism? Maybe the grease isn’t the right kind?

Re: Do old trucks get arthritis?
It is both doors. Right sticks more than left. Only started this two or three rains ago. Weird. I can't wait for the next rain so I can play with it.

Re: Do old trucks get arthritis?
Is it the same getting in as getting out Lyman ?, could be the door mechanism has a load of grime on it and that holds moisture when it's raining
and that stops the keeper from moving all the way back and catching just a little, making it harder to open the door... or move to a dryer climate !! ..

Lyman, it just does not want to go out in the rain. You should treat it better.
Re: Do old trucks get arthritis?
96 F-150 in shop for clutch so I drove Grace Slick. Rain came, sticking doors came with it. Spent lunch playing with it. Cleaned hinges and latches with de-greaser first. Tried spray oil, atf, motor oil, 90 weight gear lube and finally some blue high dollar electric motor grease. Nothing helped. I think it may in fact be haunted. Oh well, it started out of the blue, maybe it will stop just as suddenly.
