Had my 2001 Silverado ignition lockup on me today.
Couldn't even put it in gear. Had to have it towed home.

Anyone here able to help or recommend someone?

Thanks

Thanks Howard got it to turnover.

Read where one guy suggested messing with the key inserted in the ignition at various lengths.

It's worked before on door locks for me and decided to give it a go.

After about 10 minutes....Bingo!  :smt001

Did you try putting it in park first?  :smt044
How many CDMs does it take to turn a key? 
All of them with some help. :smt044 :smt044
