I have 2 GM trucks in my family. Both have had the same problem with all the door hinges - the hinge pins lock up and the doors will not open or close without deforming the body. I have been told (when I went in for repair at a dealership) that this is a standard repair for all GM trucks. The risk to the passenger is that the sheetmetal weakens and the hinge rips from the body of the truck.
