need a step by step for replacing ignition cylinder
« 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.  (Note that 1985 and 1986 procedures are identical).
this help go to page 255

"How To: Fixing a Sloppy GM Tilt Column" should answer most of your questions.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
