It's time to replace the key/tumbler mechanism on the column before I can't start the car anymore. Pelican says that replacement key/tumbler parts are NLA. GPR has something that says it replaces the tumbler for only about $55 including 2 keys. That just seems too good to be true. Anyone got any experience with the GPR part? Any other recommendations or sources?
(Sorry no link for the GPR part - their web site isn't working tonight. It's under Steering Parts.) |

My electrical portion has already been replaced. This is a physical problem with a key that has finally worn down to almost nothing. I've been planning for some time to replace the whole assembly with one that has a new key and then rekey the car to match that new key (The cylinder assembly has other problems - like not engaging the column lock and being able to remove the key when the car is running.)
Thanks for the info. Dissimilar keys is definitely something I want to avoid. P.S. for the Doctor - I looked at your web site, but couldn't find any parts like this. I also could not find a search function. Hitting the "next section" button (or whatever it's labeled) over and over to scan through the catalog just doesn't cut it. Based on what I saw last night, I won't bother with the AA web site again when I need to look for a part. |
