hadn't happened on my dak but it happened to my sisters '96 thunderchicken. really easy to change that cylinder out. used a Haynes manual and bought the cylinder at A/Z. came with 2 keys. took about 1-2 hrs.

I wished I owned the company that sold these lock cyls to Chrysler. prob ordered 2500 of these in the last 5-6 years alone. Try this first we found it works 90% of the time before taking out the cyl to remove the key. Get a small hammer ( READ SMALL) and with the key in the off position gently tap the head of the key in, then pull straight out try it a cpl of time before giving up. then lube the cylinder neatly . this might hold you for a cpl weeks but you will need an updated cylinder
