It's parked on level ground and the wheels are straight. I've wiggled the sterring wheel, shifter, and brake and have had no luck. Looks like I'm in need of a new ignition. My truck is o 03 auto 4.7L

Thanks!!!
What it sounds like is the tumblers in the ignition box itself is worn and they need to replace the whole ignition box. This means either reporgram new keys or replace tumblers which is not an option, All this will be expensive to do and you must insist on this because once out of warranty you are stuck high and dry.
