Answer
Hi Don:

I'm sorry about your truck.  I guess these are the times we live in.  

Your truck has a passkey antitheft systems (which is why you still have the truck and not him).  You need to make sure you installed a column with the same wiring as the original.  specifically the antitheft wiring.  Make sure the columns match.  Then, you will need to reprogram the ignition system.  Our company has posted instructions and a description of how to reprogram the ignition switch on GM vehicles (for a small fee).  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions. Here is a link to that page.  This covers most all of the GM ignition switches from 1997-2006 to present.
