all you need is the new lock cylinder. it will come with all the springs and tumblers. you just pull the tumblers out of the original noting which tumbler number it is. they are numbered 1-4 so if the first tumbler you pull out is a 2 you grab a new #2 tumbler and drop into the correct slot in the new cylinder and so on unitl you have all the tumblers placed in the new cylinder. No programing necessary. Since you can get the key in the ignition and turn it to the run position and using a pick or an awl or something similar press the little lock button up underneath the cylinder. while holding the little button up pull out on the cylinder. Its maybe like a 30-45 min job. you still retain the original key. Take the vin # into dealer and tell em to order a cylinder for the truck.
