Ignition Lock Cylinder Diagnosis
I insert the ignition key and turn the key, but the key stops at the far end of its travel and won't turn all the way to start the truck unless I pull out the key slightly. Is this a bad lock cylinder for sure, or could it be the connecting rod hanging up down to the ignition switch, and how would that be checked?

Thanks. I just tried to start it a few times consecutively with a virgin OEM GM key and it started every time. Maybe it was the key.

No problem, my dad had a brand new spare laying around. He swapped keys and it started every time.
