Folks,
We all love these old trucks and want to keep them. Problem is, they are old trucks. If someone wants them it's pretty easy to steal them. So do what I did and buy a tracker. I bought one off Amazon for $55 and it cost $12 per month for the service. It has a battery backup that's good for a couple days. It can notify you of start events, stop events, loss of power and you can setup Geo fences so if it goes in or out of that fence you can be notified. Cheap insurance IMO. I installed it behind the radio on mine. I also tucked a Samsung smarttag under the carpet, as a backup locator.

I’m thinking about doing a kill switch and hiding it, only problem - It doesn’t stop you from stealing the diesels.
Think I’m still going to put them on the gas yoters.
After ours was stolen I put two disabling devices which I believe will deter another potential theft. However, I also believe if they want it they will take it.
The best offense is a good solid defense here on this topic in general .........
