Ignition cylinder and keys?

[Jesus_man]

For some reason, I have to pull my keys out of the ignition slightly to get the tumbler to turnover and start the bronco. I need to replace that before it fails permanently. Anyone have one laying around with two keys? Not concerned with matching the door.

Wow, just saw Tom's has what I need for $8.95 brand new. Maybe that's the way to go.

I put a matching set of lock & ignition cylinders in this winter. I'm 99.453% sure I've still got the old ignition cylinder & keys. I'll check at work tomorrow if you don't get them new. If I've got it, you can have it for the price of USPS.

The more I think about it, the more I think I should just get new. That way I know they should last me a good long while. I appreciate the off tho Chad!

Makes sense to me.

I bought a new set from Toms. At first shipping was nearly $20 and I got to thinking maybe it would have been worth taking Chad up on his offer. Then Tom's called me and said they could ship it priority on USPS and saved me $12 in shipping. They could have done the lazy thing and shipped it the expensive way, but they made the effort to call me and I appreciate that. Not only did they save me $12, they also sent the instruction sheet on how to swap the switches out. Something I hadn't done in a while so it was nice to have a refresher. Not that instructions shouldn't come with it, but seems like I have gotten a lot of things lately that should have had them and didn't.

Tom's rocks. I have had nothing but outstanding service from them.

I've had good luck calling vendors and having them ship USPS when their shipping charges are crazy or I'm ordering something small (gets put in my locking mailbox instead of left on the front step). BC has been especially good about this.

Funny, I ordered the same set from Tom's and they full-charged me and fed-ex'd it. Just got em yesterday.

Dang, that sucks! I got mine over the weekend.

Toms is great but make sure you talk to one of the guys instead of the ladies there. They seem to want to get off the phone and get other things done where the guys will take their time and make sure everything is done right. I have also had issues with the gals sending wrong parts or not having any idea on the parts you are talking about and want you to give them the part#s so they don't have to do the footwork.

Maybe that's my problem, I always just order off the website since i'm usually ordering later at night after scratching my head for an hour and looking through books/websites before I figure out what I need to order. I'll have to start writing it down and calling the next day

Also after they give you the price ALWAYS ask if thats the best they can do. Thats with any Vendor and usually they will give you spiff.

On larger orders I would, but not on something this small. I'd wear a sticker on the bronco somewhere if they were to send one, but wouldn't ask for anything more.

Now, when I bought me leaf springs from them a few months back, I should have asked the question.

that the best they can do?

Great Advice. Such a great way to put the ball back in their court to see what they can do. They have done all the hard work entering the order and it puts them on the spot to save the order and make ya happy.

I am batting 1,000 on discounts or spiffs from the Vendors with this advice - thanks Zilla
