Re: Security

if you park with the nose in and wheel turned to the stop, it makes towing a PIA since when they grab and go it runs into the car next to it..yea I know no locking colunm but its a start the other thing is maybe a lock on the E brake set lock it at least this will slow them down....

as far as vent window yea you could weld it shut I'm still thrownng a rock threw the window or if I need to be quiet then a spring center punch and the glass falls on the floor....in and gone

I think french has the best Idea no wheel makes them hard to drive and an alarm that by passes the ingnition would be the best thing to slow a thief down or make them move on maybe a newer locking colunm would help.... you would need 2 keys to move it and I'm sure you could wire it so both needed to in the on pos.

what we need to do is make a list of the vonerable spots.....you make the list and I'll tell yea if I could get by it

Re: Security

get a broken transmission!!!!

somebody tried to hotwire my truck when it was sitting outside a transmission repair shop with the driveshaft laying in the back.

I don't know if they got it started or not, but they didn't go anywhere. My truck is hard for most people to start. The choke is wired open and it's very cold-natured, even in 100 degreee weather. you can't start it without pumping it, and it won't idle until it warms up. which is fine with me!


It made me think about how vunerable my truck is to theives!!!!! What made me the maddest though, was not the theives, it was the transmission rebuilder!!!!! he told me he was going to put my truck in his shop over the weekend, but he left it outside the whole weekend!!!!!! not in the best part of town either.
