Ignition switch problem
I've noticed what I think is a problem w/ my ignition switch.
Afer starting the truck the radio will not work unless I twist the key back just a hair. Has anyone noticed this before? I am wondering if this is actually a problem or not, although I haven't noticed it untill yesterday and have 12k on the truck.
Thanks for any info you can provide

Sounds like you may have an issue with the return spring on the ignition cylinder. When cranking the engine, the switch shuts off power to the accessories so the starter will have the extra current available. You might try some silicon spray on the cylinder, or have the dealer replace it since you only have 12K on the truck. You shouldn't have to turn the key backwards like that.
