Try both the things above...its more than likely something stupid..if not prepare to pull the steering wheel and a few other things to get to the cylinder...its a PITA.

I finally got it I just have to shake the cylinder a little I guess, so I'm going to look at replacing it and from looking at it, yes it looks like a PITA

thx
Thanks for all your guys input, but I ended up just replacing the cylinder for 80 bucks, the only sucky part is now i have to a carry a key to unlock my doors and a key to start it, plus my other jeep keys, starting to feel like a janitor.
