First you need to buy
AC Delco part D1473D Ignition Lock Cylinder (Attention they don't come with the spring and tumbler or key )
Second ..
You need to go to the dealer and you need to have with you the ( old ignition Lock cylinder / tumbler and your old key ) why so that can coded the new ignition with your old key and they add the spring ...make sure you have a proof of your ownership to show .. it doesn't cost much

They must use the old tumbler ignition because you need your old key work with new ignition . Your new ignition need to read your key code so the car can turn on ..They can't say no. If they do just go to ather dealership
he asked me where I bought the parts...I think he was pissed that I didnt buy them there (to expensive) then proceded to tell me he couldnt do it...I was suspicious but why argue.....Can a locksmith do this..........and could the tumbler keep the caar from starting....I put the old tumbler in the new ignition switch...but still the same.....there is a re-learn procdure which I was going to try just in case...
You shouldn't ask the dealer where you buy the parts ... Of course they pissed off they want you to buy the parts from them ...you need to buy it from RockAuto.com (Gm original parts )
you need to try another dealer but don't say to them that other dealer They refuse to do it... Try locksmith before going to dealer

Yea my mistake...wont happen again.........my issue is I dont want to throw any more money at it.....could the tumbler cause a no start.........and there is apparently a way to relearn the vats system.....
How about the black wire around the back cover key do they rotated good same as before ? Because that wire read the vat key and easy to broke
dont think its that....I will check.........it was running fine when I used a resister to bypass it......have you ever heard of steps to relearn the Vats system ....I have found instructions to do this....I will try that tomorrow....but i am really stumped as of right now....and car is undriveable......
