I was hoping to do this myself as I have had the tumbler out previously to clean it. I was also hoping to NOT spend $174+ for it. :-/
Thoughts or ideas?
Thanks again!

This is why I love my old Silverado,
I just googled the ignition lock stuck and searched, then watched a few youtube videos,
no- I wont call a locksmith for $160,
No I DEFINATELY WONT tow it to a dealer for a $320 bill.
I just push it down while wiggling a little to get it to operate.
I will order a new replacement for $33.00 tops second day air if it gets too worn for the pin to not come out of the detent..
graphite, spray lube, heating it up, all that is nonsense.
its real simple when you know whats going on-with a Silverado.
you just take the top and bottom plastic covers off ~ and you could get at the pin with a pocket knife to work it out of the detent if you were stuck in a parking lot someplace
