Hi, I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado K1500 pu automatic transmission 5.7, I need help to learn How to permanently disabled steering wheel lock on my truck. Id like to keep the cruise control working if possible. I've already removed my steering wheel. But stopped. I know how to remove the air bag clock spring thing (or whatever it's name is). And I have the lock plate tool to push on it to get the little hog ring clip off. But having the tools and being able to take it all apart isn't the problem.
I need to know what to leave out , so the steering wheel lock won't engage anymore. Or if there's a little rod to file down or cut off... Or something. It's gotta be possible... Please let me know in as good of details as you can. Pictures would help to....
Thank you very much, Kurt

 

I've done quite a bit of little mods to the dashboard of my truck. I put all digital gauges in. And a new dash since my cracked all to pieces like alot of peoples. I also had my vats system deleted from the ECU because it was malfunctioning and is now obsolete and overpriced.... I am putting in an alarm system with remote start and push button start. The steering wheel lock hasn't done me any good in the 20 years I've owned the truck and they actually stopped using it shortly after my year. In 2000 I think.... I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me in disabling the steering wheel lock. If there's a pin that can be removed, or a lock plate that can be modified?
Again,
Thank you for any help you can give me, Kurt
