Won't start
 
Ok here's what happened. I had to move the truck so as I turn the key it gets stuck in the start position and I can hear the starter engaging after it turned on. So I quickly turn it off. Then I turn the key forward again and it turns on fine. Well after I shut it off I moved it again so as I turn the key to turn it on it wouldn't do anything. The key will go forward and back like something is loose but nothing is happening. So I removed the steering wheel to see if I can find something broken but I can't seem to find nothing. I think it's the key switch but my dad said it's not. Any ideas? I tried the search function but didn't find nothing. Any inputs?

Sound like the pot metal rack broke real common.

So new steering column should fix this?

yep IMHO replacing the pot metal rack and selector isn't worth the work .I just replaces the column and that is a piece of cake.
