I was searching eBay and found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GM-CA...6463QQtcZphoto I was thinking of getting the non- greaseable ones anyway. But these are stainless steel also. Whats everyones take?

There's alot of pin kits which are made of stainless steel. It's my major requirement for these kits. I hate to see some rust that wears out my bushings.

Yea but I wonder how they would compare to TDS pin kits?

from my own dealings with TDS , i would recommend them . their parts IMHO , are top notch . i have not yet needed to replace door pins . mine are 20yrs. old . when i do , i will buy mine from TDS . good luck .

Yea I have had nothing but good luck with TDS. But I guess what I am getting at is will these pins hold up like the kits Lon sells.

I'd go with TDS, but you could try those and let us know how they work out. Or, buy TDS for one side, the eBay kit for the other and compare them installed.

I'm going to try the one on Ebay (non-greaseable) soon. It appears to be every bit as good as TDS kit for a lot less money. That will help if you plan to pay a shop $ to install in your door! I'll re-post after mine is done and let everyone know how well it works.

I have the TDS non greasable hinge kits installed in my doors. They are awesome and hold up very nice. No issues at all so far. Highly recomend them to anyone.

Let us know how the Ebay ones work out... I am curious to know. Cost is substantially less.

I bought Lons greasable kit. Haven't installed it yet.
I'd rather pay a little more and support a 3rd gen business personally. Plus Lons customer service is excellent.
