Ignition switch

Postby 89BART » Mon Dec 15, 2014 5:34 pm

My trucks key turn ignition has hit the fritz and I'm having a hard time dismantling the pastic surrounding to remove the old and replace with the new. The truck is a manual and non tilt wheel so it should be easy. I'm just to the point of wondering if I need to take off the steering wheel. Any and all input is appreciated.

There are torx bits up in the plastic from the bottom. 3 in the recessed holes hold the top and bottom together, and the 1 silver one holds the bottom plastic to the column itself. There are tabs also, so after you remove the screws, you need to wiggle it to separate the 2 halves.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

What year is your truck?
88-90 have the switch on the column under the dash. 91-93 it is up top with the key. Different switches and different R&R procedures.
RIP 91.5 W250 5 speed. The great experiment.
92 W250 HD 47RH with Compushift. Upgraded H1C to 62/60/16, Scheid Lightning VE, 60# valve springs, DAP 7X.010 injectors, 4" DE exhaust, home made cooler tubes.
01 2500 "the work truck".
