Thanks Diesel and Harv. I have the new ignition lock "on standby", ready to go. I thought it was a pretty good deal, too. Bought it here, on the "Pelican". The price was a fraction of what you'd spend if stranded (or can't remove the tumbler without a locksmith) and unable to drive the car!! Haven't put it in as I'm having zero troubles now that I've installed a new tumbler (save for what I mentioned here in the previous posts). Already have the lower dash removed and the cluster has been out a couple times and not fully seated (easily popped). Although the car is "roadworthy", I don't venture too far from home as I'm slowly going through "everything", not in a hurry, no pressure....more of a hobby. 2016 RAM for my daily (1500, single cab, basic truck, nothin "fancy", really tiny V6....lol)
