Re: Security

Fuel shut off would need an electric pump right?
Or is there some way to do it with the mechanical pump.

I thought repo people just towed the things...

Re: Security

I would just bag it to lay frame and take the key that shuts off the airbag switches! You cant steal it, tow it or move it if the frame is laying on the ground and you cant access the understand to chain it up and get it on a flat bed.

Oh and using the starter disable that comes with the alarm will prevent turning the engine over if they want too.

Re: Security

Watsons-streetworks.com makes a solenoid that can be triggered many different ways that shuts off all of the power to the truck.
No power and now the thief needs to find the solenoid and trigger it, good luck.
But if there is no power, no lights, no turn over, maybe the thief will go away.

If someone wants you vehicle, its gone. I just want to slow down the average thief. So, if I go to Homedespot I can feel confident that my truck will still be right where I left it when I return.

ok we have a winner I would have to think about that one pretty hard but even without laying frame if I dump my bags the headers are on the ground so that wil help

Indy I think a fuel tank switch mounted under the tank like they use for trucks with 2 tank would work if you wires it to a a switch that was hidden some where you could make it switch to the tank ( instead of nothing) then you could drive away

I was thinking abut the cig lighter as a switch and it would be pretty easy...the center post on the back of the lighter is conected to ground when you push it in completing the curcuit if you have a electric fuel pump or fuels tank switch then wire up the pos side and use the lighter as ground..unless it was pushed in there would be no completed curcuit...Nice idea... be sure to short out the heating element before you use it so it doesn't keep popping out...lmao
