Last i recall they are not that expensive. I would look into getting some Jimmy jammers so they cant pop the lock. Maybe a kiil switch. I mean yeah they tore up some things but its cheaper than replacing the truck. I dont know if they make a collar for that style steering column. But that will help keep them from starting it. Any more info I would be glad to help.

ive got the same advise i offered on the other forum.

call my dad.

TURN KEY STEERING COLUMN REPAIR.

Rickey Smith
713-819-2131

dealerships/bodyshops around houston and alot of insurance companies have him do just about everything in the dash of ANY vehicle for them. he does ignition on stolen vehicles and airbags on wrecked cars. talk to him before you send it to a dealership. chances are he will be fixing it anyways and the dealership will charge you for an entire new column where he just charges parts and labor.
