I'm getting ready to purchase a replacement ignition tumbler for a 1997 Yukon.

I see there a shyteload of aftermarket vendors selling them with keys, and original AC Delco cylinders seems to be abundant for cheap.

The AC Delco cylinders do not come with keys. I assume that they come with a key code that I can use to have keys cut?

Is there any difference in quality between the aftermarket cylinders and original AC Delco?

Thank you for the input.

Nobody has had to replace the lock cylinder in their steering column? The plastic thumb ring is broken off of mine, and needs a little juggling to turn. I don't imagine that I am the only the that has needed to replace it?

*Factory AC Delco replacement cylinders, they do not come with a key. Do they come with a key code to cut a key?

*Any differences in quality of assorted aftermarket cylinders, that come with keys, on the market? Are there any that I should avoid?

Help is appreciated. Once rebuilt, I don't want to screw with it again.
