You're right Jacob, been pretty busy. April got kind of crazy towards the end, settling down a little now.

yeah, the weather has been so nice. I got the Ball joints changed in the bronco. NOw the ingnition switch went out. Changed the switch and the lock cylinder, its still not right. I think the rod is messed up, I have no idea how to change it, or if I can even get the parts to change it.

You might be better off just changing the whole column out Dave.

apparently it is a farely commen problem in all older vehicals with tilt colums. The "ignition rack" goes bad. It's a $16 part, hopefully i can get it on tommorow, and we will see what happens from there.

I wonder if that's the problem with the column in the 96 I have in the shop now. It will start in park, but I can't shift it out of park once it is running.
