When I just tried to start the truck the key wouldn't turn. I thought it was the security feature associated with my viper system but I unlocked it 3 times in a row and it still wouldn't turn.

I had to force it with both hands and it finally turned.

Is there something within the ignition that needs to be lubricated?

Did the steering wheel have tension on it against the steering lock? You have to pull on the wheel to release the tension against the lock. Then turn the key. Hope that makes sense
