[Gpaw44]

I am in need of someone who rebuilds steering columns near the DFW area in Texas. If you know of someone that provides this service I would like to hear from you. Thanks

Clarifying the type of column and a picture of yours would probably help. do you have interest in doing this on your own with guidance or just simply want a service for it?

You could always buy another column to use your vehicle while the original is worked on.

Theres a company I found that sell's rebuilt GM columns with or without a core exchange... IIRC a rebuilt column was like $800-$900 not including the core charge or shipping, one of the reasons I chose to restore my own.

Rebuilding a column is a fairly involved project but it can be done with basic tools for the most part, lock plate tools and tilt pin pullers are rather cheap. I think I spent about $150 in parts to do the whole thing: new lock cylinder (with GM keys), new ignition rack, ignition switch, neutral safety switch, turn signal switch, rubber flange gasket, some grease, loctite, and a few cans of paint. I just cleaned and reused everything else, I almost had to buy the upper bearing kit because the ball bearings got knocked all over the floor but I was able to find them all.

Theres a few Youtube videos on the process.

Note: If you choose to rebuild don't cut the rubber flange that seals it to the firewall off like I did, they're a PIA to find replacements for.

He's pushing his luck, may have to ban hammer him for such blatant disobedience

I bought mine from a family owned business in SoCal - dont recall their name but it was listed on feebay. I did a search on them and found all excellent reviews - from what I remember, they replaced and rebuilt 100% of it - not just what failed. Like CalSgt said, their rates were around $800.....shipped. I'll search and see if I can find them.

I have been told to try and get these columns year specific to your truck. A year range? Dunno.
