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.) |

I had the same problem:Tumbler Discussion
I bought a used lock assembly off a car being parted from the classifieds. Put the new electrical switch on. Pulled out the actual tumbler and placed the tumbler out of the car into the new switch. Works great now and uses original keys. Never did figure out why the other wouldn't start the car. |
