can you get a pic of what you are talking about?

the latch on the door? the tooth that grasps the bar on the truck side of things?

This is probably caused by bad hinge pin bushings. Try to lift up on your door. If you can lift up on your door without moving the whole side of the truck, the bushings are bad and need to be replaced. This is a common problem on these trucks and is discussed in a number of other threads.
