My ignition locks when I switch my truck off. I have a very difficult time trying to get it to unlock when I return to the truck. I had a new key made thinking maybe the key was too worn, but that did not help. Where do I go from here? is there a cheaper way than having to replace the ignition switch?

Actually, it sounds like the tumbler is going bad. Have you tried to lubericate it?
