Ignition rack broke on my 1/2 ton two wheel drive no tilt. I found a replacement part but it is not a exact fit. The Dorman 83221 looks right but is too wide. Any suggestions?

Hey GMMAN,

Here is some diagrams on what you are in for, you will need a special puller to the the tilt pins out and the steering wheel off.

Let us know how it goes.

You may need to go to the dealer, they are the only ones that have the correct parts for the column.
