DIY ignition cylinder lock replacement?
Anybody ever tried to replace their own ignition cylinder tumblers? I would like to do it and keep my original key. I've read the how to from one of the e-bay sellers. Sounds easy if you can work with tiny springs and stuff. My key is starting to give me some grief. Would like to fix it before it's a major problem....lol. Just wondering if it's worth the $400+ from the stealer to let them do it.

My key and ignition on my '08 were acting up. Had to click it 2-3 times to start it.
Took it to a GM dealership and he put in a new ignition at no charge to me.
Seems like there is a silent recall. If yours is bad they fix it but a recall is not published. I kept the original key too.

Okay, tried the lube/straw bit. Didn't seem to make a difference but now i can pull the key out from the igniton while the key is in the -run- position while the car is running....lol. Time for a new key?
