Thanks, added it to the list.

TT member and fellow PRG installer VShortt helped me out with this one last night. When opening/closing the door I would hear 2 pops and thought it was a lube problem on the positive stop guide. VShortt pointed out that the problem is that the screw holding the guide to the body. My other fellow PRG installer MOTO-MAX-TITAN (aka 2 second Max) quickly busted out with the 10mm socket and tightened the bolt on all 4 doors and solved my problem! It really helps to know people!

Here's the culprit bolt:

You're on the list.

Great thread Squid.
What about “thud sound when stopping & accelerating”?
Check the rubber floor protectors covering the utility track. They can slam up against the cab when stopping quickly & or slam against the tailgate under heavy acceleration.

Seems like I have seen 4 threads on this & can’t find-a-one.
