Okay so I'm working on a 2011 GMC Sierra and the ignition key will not turn. The steering wheel will not lock either. We had to put it in neutral from the linkage underneath. We drilled the old tumbler and installed a new one and it turned and said something about the anti theft. Turned it to off and this one won't turn either. Help? And yes the key is chipped. I think one isn't if that makes a difference.

  Dear diary, Not much to report, but the re-assembly started. New intake is smooshed down and torqued, ready for CPI leak testing again. 24hrs cure for the RTV will be completed this evening, so I'll fill it with fluids tomorrow and try to fire it off after getting all the little bits bolted back on. I hope this little truck thinks of me late at night and in the early morning after rising, too. (LOL) The greasy trench: The front crossmember is a gravitational force/black hole for dropped bolts, sockets, souls. It also retains leaked oil and coolant. It's awful when something actually falls inside of it. There's a thick greasy goo in there. I need to clean it out somehow because, fingers crossed, the engine shouldn't leak anymore. Douse it with brake cleaner? Get a pressure washer on it? It's freaking nasty.

  Of course we have the privilege of seeing into the future and noting how the used transmission for whatever reasons did not do so well or so it would appear with the metal wear and its just a matter of when it will pile up. The unknown is the original transmission, how much longer would it have kept going and would it have left him stranded far off somewhere at a time when getting repairs may have been impossible to find. I rather doubt that these 10L1000 transmissions are going to be looked back on as an incredibly long life type of unit as there are other items besides the valve body that were never made as well as they could have been and why the aftermarket has come out with some better grade components. I guess there is one way of finding out though if the original trans is still on the shelf, install it with no modifications and keep on adding on the miles and see how far it will go !.

  No surprise that pump prices are on the upswing.

  I’m a little confused by your comment. The number you reference is a bulletin number and not a program/update number. The tech bulletin basically just says the light may come on and stay on for 30 seconds then go away, and that is normal. Is there an update I may have gotten that causes this? And please know I appreciate the help, but im not understanding your question.
