Re: Truck Won't Start No Sounds No Noises Nothing

Gregski, was there some trick to get the rack and sector gear reassembled and aligned correctly?

Took a little doin' and head a scratchin' to figure out the logic of it, of course then it's easy once you know how

the key (pun intended) is to get it to slide full range of motion with just your hands once the rack and gear are assembled, you should see how that metal coat hanger rod will move it up and down, and if its not right you will know

You're absolutely right Gregski. Part of that logic is making sure that you are feeding the rack in from the right direction. Gotta remember that the lock cylinder angles forward, and that where the rod fits into the rack points back. In my defense, my whole column was apart so orientation was not so obvious
