Default another column lock question

my car just showed the service column lock. i was able to get it unlocked so that i could park it in the garage. i ordered the clb but it is on backorder and will take a week before it is shipped. my question is can i drive the car safely having unlocked the column or will it lock up right away again. also, how hard is it to install the clb and are the instructions that come with it good? thanks for your help.

I would not drive it until you get the CLB installed.

Here is one site to look at:http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?ar...heme=1&theme=1

there's really no way to tell. They seem to be more prone to fail when it's hot out. You could try another source for a CLB...
