My key wasn’t turning tried everything. Just gave around the ignition a few hard hammer fists and it turned. Just a tip for anyone stuck in the same **** snare I was in.

 

Did you try rotating the steering wheel a little? If the whels are turned when you shut it off, the sprag can get caught and be in a bind.

 

Or the key might not be good. I remember buying a new set of keys and they never had issues, unlike my old keys that had come with my truck. They would sometimes get stuck in the ignition.

 

Thanks man. Your post got me going this morning.. The key wouldn't turn..... I found your thread two Hammer fists later, and it works perfectly..

 

There is a tendency for the locking arm to stick on these. You can peel the rubber boot near the key open and see the arm that locks the steering column. Shoot a little WD-40 in there to free it up. I had the same issue and found a Youtube video that showed doing it. Prior to that, I had to fight the key and after that, no problems.
