so i went to my truck and tried to start it, but the ignition is locked, tried turning the wheel around a bit to unlock the ignition but it is not working. i even tried a new key, but got nothing. any helpful ideas?

If I remember there is a place around the shifer to stick a screwdriver in to unlock.

Usually you can turn the wheel really hard in one direction or the other just enough to turn the key.

Oh ya the brake pedal need to be push on too. Here is a link to owner manual. Page 138 may help

thats a shift lock by the shifter , doesnt really have anything to do with the ignition

the shift lock allows you to shift into gear if the truck is dead

ive had the tumbler go bad on other vehicles go bad which wont allow you to turn the key
