Ding-ding-ding we have a winner...I'll be waiting for you to come over and instal it

Symptom...at times (especially in HOT weather) when I turn my ignition key to the start position(to where it stops) nothing will happen.
Then...I'll real quick turn it again and the starter will engage.
*Is it because this part is wearing out?
*PS never happens when the steering column is cool/cold.

I've never had to replace that part... Mine always breaks at the back of the key cylinder on the piece that holds the gear.

Like Oil Cooler PITA...? I did that too (crying)
What about the long rod...should I also get that part before I dig into it?
Part #?

mine does the same thing but only when its super cold out...and I think my clutch switch is out of adjustment cause i got to smash the pedal to the floor to get it to turn over...

and that would be why I start my truck with a pair of flip-switches (unmarked of course)

You can get an electrical parts cleaner that you can spray into the column where the rod slides at. Clean all the old grease out of there and then spray it with WD 40, its electrical safe. That will solve your sticky switch problem when its cold. Dont put it off, or you WILL be replacing the fun little part pictured.

I don't know about the oil cooler, never done one, but I had to tear the column all of the way down to replace it (I have tilt, it may make a difference). Word to the wise, just take the whole column out and tear it down on the bench or tailgate. I began to do mine while it was in the truck, but its hard to get to all of the screws, etc. It was much easier after I pulled the whole thing out.

You shouldn't need the long rod, as that is made out of steel, and not pot metal. If its fubared, you can make one out of 1/8th inch welding rod.

Your start switch may be out of adjustment. You can move it up and down the column to get the switch in the proper position. Or it could be the clutch switch like you suggested.
