## Discrepancy

BOI - FLIGHT 2391 (BOI-SEA) - AFTER SELECTING GEAR UP THE LEFT GEAR DOOR LIGHT REMAINED ON.  VISUAL INSPECTION CONFIRMED BOTH GEAR DOORS OPEN.  USED ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION.  FOUND THE LT ROD END OUT OF RIG ON THE LT MLG.  REPLACED THE RETRACT ACTUATOR AND UPGRADED THE UPLOCK ACTUATOR TO 46500-9 STATUS.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
