I have a 1998 F-150 with 180k miles on it. I am having trouble getting the key to turn the Ignition Cylinder & Lock to start the truck. It has a great deal of play in it as well. I was stuck in a parking lot the other day fiddling with this thing, just to get it started, for about 30 min. I have another key that has not been used as much,(no wear on it) I tried it and it works better but doesn't remedy the problem.

Is there anyone out there that has had this problem and has made this repair that could give me a how-to or any pointers?

Thanks in advance!
