Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You are correct, but at that point my ignition was locked up and it was a shot in the dark before going to buy a new ignition switch. I had no transportation and it was all I had. That being said I did not spray a lot, I placed a very small amount on the key only......and it has been working fine ever since (over a year now).Oil is a big no-no in any lock, but doubly so on any truck that will see dusty/dirty conditions. The oil will attract dirt and will eventually gum up the lock. Dry graphite powder is the lubricant of choice for locks as it does not attract dirt. Spray a little in the keyhole and work the key around to get it into all the tumblers of the lock.
Also, do you have more than one CUCV key? My 1008 doesn't like my 1009's key because it (the key) is newer and hasn't worn down some, so I have to wiggle the key around while turning the lock.
Later,
Joe
