Anyone with 3X20 or 4X20 cab tractor might want to check the cable that keeps the rightside door from opening too far. The cable eye broke on my 3520 which allows the door to open too far and this breaks a piece out of the back of the hinge. No big deal as the hinge still works okay and hopefully it doesn't weaken the strenth of the hinge any. Just giving everyone a heads up to maybe keep you from messing up your hinges too. I'll probably take the hinge pin out and dress the broken part up with a dremel tool and repaint it.

Here are some pics.
Below is the cable with broken eye and the two pieces that broke out of the hinge.
Below is a pic of the lower hinge with the piece broke out of it.
