That depends on if you have a key and the key will work or not.
If the you do not have a key for it or the key no longer works then you use a den puller.
But if the law pulls you over do not have a dent puller in the truck as they are very hard to explain.

OR

NOTE:
The following procedure applies to vehicles in which the ignition lock is inoperative and the lock cylinder cannot be rotated due to a lost or broken key, unknown key number, or a cap that has been damaged or broken to the extent that the lock cylinder cannot be rotated.

1. Disconnect battery ground cable (14301).
2. Remove steering wheel (3600) as described in this section.
3. Using channel lock pliers or vise grip pliers, twist cap until it separates from the ignition switch lock cylinder (11582).
4. Using a 3/8-inch diameter drill, drill down middle of ignition lock key slot approximately 44mm (1-3/4 inch) until ignition switch lock cylinder breaks loose from breakaway base of ignition switch lock cylinder. Remove ignition switch lock cylinder and drill shavings from lock cylinder housing.
5. Remove retainer, bearing and gear. Thoroughly clean all drill shavings and other foreign materials from casting.
6. Carefully inspect lock cylinder housing for damage from the above operation. If damage is apparent, lock cylinder housing must be replaced.

If the key will still work then:
1. Disconnect battery ground cable (14301).
2. Turn lock cylinder key to RUN position.
3. Place a 3.17mm (1/8-inch) diameter wire pin or small drift punch in hole insteering column shroud (3530) under ignition switch lock cylinder (11582). Depress retaining pin while pulling out on ignition switch lock cylinder to remove it from housing of steering column.
