Steering column lock and ignition switch cylinder for the 1992 to 1998 Chevrolet and GMC C/K (GMT400), a different part to the ignition switch itself.

Part numbers

GM 26052796 (replaces 26025788). Genuine GM part, includes key.

Fits

1992 to 1998. GM's own fitment notes split this further by tilt versus non-tilt steering column, not just by year, so two trucks of the same year can need different cylinders. Send your VIN, this is one worth confirming rather than guessing.

Why it matters

This is the mechanical tumbler the key turns, not the electrical switch behind it, worn or damaged and the key sticks, turns without engaging, or won't turn at all. A common source of no-start complaints that get mistaken for an electrical fault.

What you get

One ignition lock cylinder with key, genuine GM part.
