There should be plastic bushings on the striker pins. With the hinge pins and bushings in good shape, the door aligned to the the cab, and the latch not riding across the striker, the door should shut smoothly. I would suggest using the correct bushing as opposed to tape, I foresee the tape shredding and gumming up the latch. I also DO NOT recommend the Dorman/Help/CRAP striker bushings that are found at most auto parts stores, they split after a short time. Last time I needed them I went to the dealership and bought new strikers.
