We had this on several of our work trucks and the locksmith we used says its in part due to the end of the key getting worn. So we keep a master key to cut new ones from. Great video!

Good day Yes the key should be cut, but now it is a old key, so cutting is the same not?

My locksmith made a minor adjustment using a manual key cutting machine to compensate for the key wear. He cut a blank first to make sure that it turned in the cylinder and then cut the chip key from the blank. I didn't need to replace the cylinder tumblers.

haha yep, keep the factory key in a safe place as a "master" to make copies from, always use copies to drive the vehicles.

at 4:28 your key was in the off position and then the video fades to black, then when then video fades back in at 4:29, your key is in the on position so the pin is easy to push down and the ignition can slide out... I thought this video was showing what to do if the key key won't turn... how did you get the key to turn? it looks like you just edited your other video in..

I have a 2001 chevy silverado and the key goes in and you can turn it but doesn't crank all the way over. Now I already replaced the lock cylinder a few weeks earlier and been working but had hard time taking key out after turning off every time we used it then tried to start wouldn't any ideas on what could be the problem now. The cylinder has warranty so got another one but don't want this to happen again. Thank you for the help

I did this exact same thing. But only I paid a locksmith to do it. Replace the original then bought one through the dealer. Have the locksmith hook me up this is about 2 or 3 years ago. And it's already shot hard time turning. I will buy a aftermarket doorman brand. And just have two keys want to unlock my door and one to start my truck. I won't buy no more AC Delco original ones.
