Replace the lock and tumbler. If your truck has anti-theft, specifically a pass lock system. You'll have to take it to the dealer to recalibrate your key. There's a computer chip in the inside of the key. If the head of the key has a large plastic cover, most likely it's a pass lock, if not, you can remove the lock and tumbler by remove the column covers and pressing the small button at the bottom of the tumbler casing while key in is the "on" position. To install, reverse of removal.

To get it out, I had to pop off this little cap thing under the steering wheel column and there would be a button inside that would release the key, If this did not work then you need to contact GMC service center ....

I think unrelated problems, rock steering wheel and try to remove key, perhaps put vehicle in park the drive a few times wouldn't hurt. Then I would disconnect the battery for a few minutes so the security system will reset itself and see if that solves problem.

After starting sub. can not turn key to off position. Will not shut down. Had to pull ign. fuse and disconnect battery. whats up

Either gear selector is not in park, or the gear lever itself is loose or out of alignment, and the park sensor is not working. If transmission lever is not in park, you cant pull the key out. On most cars, the key will return as far as the I position, shutting off the engine, but not allowing key extraction.
