Title: need a step by step for replacing ignition cylinder
Post by: 84k10355ci on September 17, 2014, 11:27:20 pm

Hi guys I'm not having much luck on what it takes to replace an ignition cylinder in my 84 k10. Could someone please give me a good step by step on what I need to do to replace it? Pictures of the process would also be extremely appreciated. And it a not really electrical related but my column is very sloppy it bangs up and down, while I'm in there doing the cylinder is there something I can tighten to stop the column from being so sloppy? Thanks guys

Ignition switch replacement is fully explained on page 258 (3B4-19) of the 1986 Service Manual (http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/techinfo/7387CKMans//Service/X8632_1986_GMC_Light_Duty_Truck_CK_G_P_10_to_30_Service_Manual.pdf).  (Note that 1985 and 1986 procedures are identical).

this help go to page 255

"How To: Fixing a Sloppy GM Tilt Column" (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=12525.0) should answer most of your questions.
