man talk about a crapy couple of days. first off...on an earlier post i said i couldn't get my rim off to adjust rear brakes. now we are having high winds and i went to get out of the truck and the wind ripped the door out of my hand(i was trying to be careful and was holding on tight) now the hinge is pulled off of frame and door is bent down and don't close all the way. can i just pound the hinge in a little and tack weld it or shoul i get a hinge? and to top it off i'm having trouble starting. i turn the key and iall i get is one click. everything lights up fine and radio and all works just no crank. had this problem before and i had battery tested(a little low something like 10.65 amps under a load) but the guy said it was ok. eventually i checked the wire at the starter and the nut was a little loose i tightend it and it was ok. now it's doing it again so i checked the nut again and all the wires look fine, no corrosion or anything. i like my little 92 but its starting to nicke and dime me.any suggestions?

Sounds like the battery is not giving enough juice to turn the starter over, I would try a new battery. seems new vehicles are way more sensitive today than in the 70's-80's. as for door hinge i would have to see it, you may want to have your insurance Co, pay for this one, and have a body shop doo the work.
