Let me start by saying it is very cold where i live, highs in the negatives. 1998 ram 2500, i have never had any trouble with this truck other than general stuff ( brakes, ball joints,etc.). This morning i went to start it and i had trouble with the key turning, messed around with the steering wheel and finally it started. I went back out this afternoon to try to start it again and i never could get the key to turn. So, could it be from the cold and something is frozen or is there a mechanism inside the steering column that could have gone bad. Thanks in advance for any advice.

thanks "hey you", are you talking the entire ignition, i read a past post from here where a guy had a 2500 diesel that was doing the same thing and he said something was wrong with the tumbler, almost like he was using the wrong key. Can i replace the ignition switch without removing the steering wheel. thanks in advance. Mike
