Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Enhance Vehicle Security with GM Genuine Parts D1414B Black Ignition Lock Cylinder by Joseph Meola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OEM is the best! Best in Switches and Relays

While other aftermarket lock cylinders are cheaper, they all come with universal keys with "For GM Vehicles" written on the key. This OEM lock cylinder (ACDelco is after all a General Motors aftermarket supplier) comes with keys that just say 'GM' on them and are identical in appearance to the original keys that came with my 1986 GMC s15 Jimmy . The fit and finish of this lock is perfect and it brought back the "Your key is still in the ignition" signaling feature, a feature that disappeared with the old cylinder. Another plus is that my key can no longer be removed from the lock while driving, which is definitely a good thing! Of course, installing this cylinder requires two special tools (a steering wheel puller and a lock plate compressor, which can be rented from any major auto parts store) and a little mechanical skill. Not for beginners or the faint of heart, but easy for any DIY enthusiast.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Secret
