Ignition lock ID
I am replacing the ignition lock cylinder on my 93 f350 diesel. I have it out but how do I identify which cylinder to order. They ask for cut or letter ID.

The lock was just sloppy and worn out. My confusion was that there are 5 different cylinder locks for that year but as I found out the only difference is how they are keyed so the door lock can be matched.
thanks again, steve

I too needed to replace mine. I ended up getting one from AZone and it just happened to be the same as my original key cut.
Just bring your original key with you and ask to try a couple. You may get lucky and find one.

I tried a locksmith first. I was willing to pay the extra $. After waiting two weeks for them to finally get the cylinder in, they call me and tell me they can only get chome. I specifically asked for a black cylinder. I told them to forget it.
As far as getting the cylinder that matched the key already, I didn't need to replace the door locks or have any keys cut. My originals worked.
