I replaced the old tumbler and switch as it looked like they were damaged from when it was stolen( before i owned the truck) I was hoping it would "lock" as flimsy as the lock is... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | a repro one should have a lock position, you might question the supplier

I got a feeling that I will be coming up with some way to make sure the truck won't start unless you know where the other switch is.
