The driver's side door is sagging on my '95 GMC Yukon. I have gotten explanations of how to fix it varying from WD-40 to "can't be done without a new door". It won't adjust up as it is sagging down a good 1/2" when it's opened. It is a pain to close and we've already created a little dent above the door handle by having to slam it two-handed so hard. Any ideas on a cheap fix for that? Anyways, I've already oiled it and adjusted it and even jacked it up and tried to shim the hinges (unsuccessful). The most recent dude I talked to said that the hinge pins are worn out and said to jack it up with a hydraulic jack and 2x4 across the bottom of the door, until it popped and that would do it. I jacked it as far as I dared and there was no pop and no help.
Please advise...

New hinge pins and bushings should fix you right up. A set of them will run about $25 at a GM dealer.
I've had to do them on a '90 one ton dually,'98 Z-71,and a '99 S-10 Blazer.
Its possible to replace them by yourself,but someone to hold the door steady on the jack while you replace them makes things a whole lot easier.
One last thing,head to the nearest NAPA and get the right tool for the job,again it makes things much easier. Its called a GM door hinge pin tool or something like that. Its also about $20.
