Ignition problem, maybe?
Just curious if anyone else has experienced these issues. Every once in a while, when I get in my truck, the dome light is on but as soon as I put th e key in the ignition, everything dies. I have no power to anything, no dash lights, no radio, no dome, nothing. If I mess with the key for a bit, power suddenly comes back. The tach and all my gauges flip all the way over and then return to 0 and I can start it. I also noticed I can pull my key out with it turned on. Its only happened a few times and I can't seem to figure it out. Just wonder if my ignition is bad?

Was your also doing funky things with power? Also can they re-key the new cylinder to match my key so I don't have to get new locks for my doors?

Edit: As soon as you put the key into the ignition it sends a signal to the PCM. This is why your keys have to be out of the ignition when removing the PCM

They can, though I don't think its particularly cheap.

Sweet!
Also, I suspect it could be the ignition switch itself too. Does all that come with a new tumbler assembly or is it all separate?

Ok thanks.. I'm sure that is my issue. I could swear it looks like someone tried to steal my damn truck too. Ignition is kinda screwed up..
