Best video Really saved me on this project. Can’t thank you enough. Cory

[@typhurious4971]

Thanks again for the info Dale! I'm in the midst of the same issue but with the tilt column. You are a lifesaver, keep up the awesome work!

[@josephsandeno8941]

Very helpful. I had a problem with the ignition rod being lined up as I was changing out the ignition switch. You definitely help me trouble shoot. Fyi the ignition switch are different for tilt and non tilt columns.

[@stevec5657]

That's cool, you're really good at the intricate stuff. Looks like you'll be painting it someday soon. I think that's Hunter Green Metallic, a really nice Jeep color. Thanks for the steering wheel video series 👍

[@EarlMerGerdsGarage]

I have a feeling this is the exact issue my '91 has. thank you.

[@kansaspatriot2051]

Another great play-by-play video! Glad it worked out for you. Dealing with steering columns can sure be a pain. Thanks for sharing the hard work!

[@moabwheeling1305]

Great job Dale ! Thats got to be a big relief getting that job done . Catch you on your next video.

[@NoWr2Run]

GOOD LUCK & HERE WE GOOOOOO. GREAT JOB DALE, You know you are really impressing the shit out of me with all your vids. Rebuilding engines, Body work, Welding, Painting the Jeep, all kind of stuff. YOU HAVE COME A LONG WAY SIR.

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you!! I've made plenty of mistakes, but have learned from them. Just glad I've got this back on the road! Thank you for following along!!

[@austinsasser5890]

Thanks for the video I’m going to order the gear and try to take mine apart when I get home wish me luck 😂

[@danielturner9646]

I happen to stumble upon this looking for a video on my 91 Chevy 1500 and we have the same column... thanks for the information....

[@jeanclauderoget3756]

GREAT JOB DALE, you are talented. Nicely done.

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you!

[@JustJeep_It]

Nice work Dale.

[@leskobrandon538]

Time for that Jeep to have a paint job!.... Good job on the Column!...

[@JeepSolid]

Oh man, Yes! That's the plan, once I'm finished up with Oj.

[@leskobrandon538]

@@JeepSolid love that Factory Green color, hope you stick with it...

[@tommykeith9513]

Great series!

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you! So glad its running now

[@micheallinderman481]

Good job. I think i would have replaced the lower ignition contact switch while U had it apart?

[@roccom5988]

Fantastic job my friend.

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you!

[@mikemcgyver3254]

I need to replace the turn signal/ washer switch. I've removed the three T30 bolts however I can't remove the cover, it's still firmly in place. Will I need to completely remove the column to remove this part?

[@jamesperryman1464]

good video and WD40 or Water Displacement 40 was designed to use on electrical circuits to displace water for NASA. It is also good as a penitent but never a lubricant.

[@jamesperryman1464]

should have said penetrant

[@billys1974fotd]

I'd love to see wiring video or even trouble shooting. Flasher, turn signal and PRNDL light not workin

[@ryangallagher2864]

The steering shaft easily pushes out when I try to put the spring on and I am unable to put it back together does anyone know why I may be having this issue?

[@jacobmercer7765]

I have a buddy who is struggling with his steering column. He said he broke the original and is about to buy one from a salvage yard for $350. The yard says the tilt needs tightened up. I don't believe they're talking about the handle either. Any advice would be very appreciated.

[@dkhallal]

Did you or have you replaced the upper steering shaft bearing? I’ve seen a bunch of videos on the lower one, nothing so far on the upper one. And yes, a compressor tool is well worth the $40!

[@brianharrison74]

What about the little leaf spring under the rack that puts tension against the gear when you turn the key. Does anybody know where to get it from?

[@JeepSolid]

Not sure

[@LOKELYOKEL1]

That spring broke on mine and caused the "rack" and "spindle" to not mesh and skip. I would give you a link but this reply column keeps deleting my reply. You can go to steering column services. Its a GM steering column and if you find the right diagram, it will be part number 25-rack tension spring. That website sells the parts as well. It has good diagrams of steering columns and parts.

[@brianharrison74]

@@LOKELYOKEL1 Thanks for this i found it where you said. It's a discontinued part so says its in short supply. Right now made one from my wifes hair clip as a temporary fix.

[@kimdecastro9156]

good job

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you!

[@hikerJohn]

DORMAN?!?! Good luck with that . . .

[@kennykyle4813]

Instead of WD-40 take a spray bottle with graphite and alcohol mixed and what will happen is the graphite will lube it and the alcohol will evaporate.

[@jamescorless8283]

Wd 40 is for electronics.

[@frankxaoz1286]

I dont think I have the patience for this job and my jeep key gears just took a shit. Guess imma fork out some cash

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah. Kinda tedious but can be done

[@frankxaoz1286]

@@JeepSolid The amazon site says the part does not fit.

[@JeepSolid]

@@frankxaoz1286 yeah. At 3:36 in the video I mention that. It’s a perfect match
