LCWRGS Ignition Lock Cylinder for Chevy Silverado 1998–2003 US287L with 2 Keys — Direct OEM Fit

LCWRGS Ignition Lock Cylinder Switch with two keys (US287L) replaces worn or broken ignition cylinders for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac models from 1998–2003, restoring reliable key turn and factory fit.

If the original ignition cylinder in your Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban or other GM vehicle is sticking, won’t turn, or no longer accepts the key, this direct-fit replacement offers a straightforward repair path. Designed to match OEM dimensions and appearance, the LCWRGS unit includes two cut keys and mounts in the factory housing so you can return the vehicle to normal starting operation without rekeying the entire steering column.

Which vehicles is this ignition cylinder compatible with?

This ignition lock cylinder is engineered to fit a long list of late-1990s and early-2000s GM trucks and SUVs. Compatibility covers Chevy, GMC, and select Cadillac models within the 1998–2003 model years, matching the original US287L part number.

• Chevy: Silverado 1500/2500 (1999–2003), Silverado 3500 (2001–2003), Suburban, Tahoe, Escalade, Astro, Blazer, Express, S10 (various 1998–2003 years)
• GMC: Sierra 1500/2500/3500, Savana/Safari, Yukon, Sonoma, Jimmy, Bravada (1998–2003 ranges)
• Replaces OE/aftermarket US287L style cylinders for a like-for-like installation

How does the LCWRGS unit fit and look compared with the original part?

The LCWRGS cylinder replicates the factory form and finish so it snaps into the existing housing and aligns with the ignition switch and steering lock components. Materials mimic OEM appearance and texture, helping maintain interior aesthetics and mechanical alignment.

• Constructed from durable ABS and PP plastics to resist wear and retain original appearance
• Designed for direct replacement—no major modifications or extra parts typically required
• Two included keys match the cylinder for immediate use upon installation

What comes in the package and what should I expect during installation?

Each LCWRGS kit contains one ignition lock cylinder and two keys so you can replace a failing cylinder and have a spare key on hand. Basic removal of the steering column trim and the old cylinder is required; many DIYers can complete the swap with standard hand tools.

• Package contents: 1 ignition lock cylinder switch (US287L) and 2 keys
• Typical installation: remove lower dash trim, depress retaining pin, pull old cylinder, insert new unit until it locks
• If you run into fit or function questions, LCWRGS customer support is available to assist

Will this fix electrical starter or ignition switch problems?

This product replaces the mechanical ignition cylinder—the part that accepts and turns the key. It restores smooth key operation and physical engagement, but it does not replace the electrical ignition switch assembly underneath the column; electrical faults may require separate diagnosis.

• Restores physical key insertion, turning and steering lock release
• Does not include the electrical ignition switch contacts or starter relay parts
• Useful first step for key-sticking or worn-cylinder symptoms before pursuing electrical repairs

Who is this for: drivers, mechanics, and restoration enthusiasts working on GM trucks and SUVs from the late 1990s to early 2000s who need a cost-effective, direct-fit repair for a worn or damaged ignition cylinder. If you want a replacement that matches factory fit and finish, includes two keys, and covers a broad range of Chevy, GMC, and related models, the LCWRGS US287L ignition lock cylinder offers a practical solution.
