Hello, i am just about losing it, stuck on side of road. Truck started stalling when lock cylinder began to rotate without key, and bind when turning.
I got some info from just answer, it describes a screw holding in cylinder. Mine is not there, but the hole is.
I got a new lock cylinder, picking up new switch tomorrow.
I got the clip off by pushing down the horn plate with my feet, and using some pick tools to remover the clip.
But i am stuck now. Very frightening, its all i have in this trucj, many miles from home.

Good luck! That's a scary experience.

well, i figured it out!
For one, to remove a lock cylinder, you have to turn the key to start position!. If you dont have the key, you have to drill out the lock first! then use a screwdriver to go to start position.
So turn it all the way... and then you will have either a screw, or some sort of tab to push down on. From there, it will just pop out!
My tab was hidden, i needed to use a pointy pick to push it down, and i could only tell it was there because i had a new lock cylinder already. I cleaned out the debris from there, and installed the new one! it was pretty easy.
ALSO: check with different autoparts stores, because some charge a fortune, some dont have lock cylinders as a RULE ... but i found mine for 20 dollars! It fit my GMC and also Cadillac!
