Since the key is stuckin the tumbler, now is the time to replace it. The top of the steering column has to come apart to do this. Beware of the air bag.

This could be a problem with the shifter not quite moving to right place when placed in park to cause the key locking solenoid to release the key.

Cranks very slow: like it dosen't have enough juice to start. It only does it when the truck has been running speed for awhile. Battery is new, all cables are tight.

Have you checked for power to the 4wd actuator on the transfer case?

These are the codes that showed up for my 2002 Chevy Silverado: p0785, p0758, p1860, p0740, and p0753. Can you direct me in a direction to start at? Also my gas hand, speedometer, cluster lights, are not working.

Those are all transmission codes, take it toa trans shop. Also check to make sure your battery is good as that may be the cause of your gauges not working.

Thanks, I have replaced the battery and transmission shop said it was the ignition switch in the steering column so I bought a new one. It worked good for a couple months but here I am again with same problems.

It may be a bad connection at the trans or broken wire, this would need to be physically looked at for repair

Check and see if you have power to, and across IGN 0 fuse in the left fuse block. If you do, clear the codes and see if the condition still exists. If you do not, replace the ignition switch. It supplies power to IGN 0 fuse, and subsequently all the solenoids in the transmission.

When start the engine up and put the gear shift lever in first and try to engage the four wheel drive shift lever the truck will not move and when trying to engage the four wheel drive shift lever it make a noise like it is hard to engage it Just like the four wheel drive shift lever not going into gear what is causing the truck not to move is it the tranmission are the differential (rear end)?

POSSIBLE CAUSE:CORRECTION:
Blown A/C-HTR Fuse. Replace.
Faulty transfer sw. Replace.
Faulty 4WD Indicator light, sw, or wiring (4WD engaging but indicator light not coming on. Repair as needed.
Transfer case linkage improperly adjusted or disconnected. Adjust or repair.
Faulty transfer case: Drive chain broken, range selector ring brokenRepair
Faulty front axle
also if it goes in 2wd drive then that eliminates a transmission problem.

If you don't have electric switching you don't have the light. Or it in the dash.
