Archived Truck almost stolen

[RyanB]

I have an air-shut-off on my engine that is needed for pulling. It is inbetween the Intercooler and the Intake manifold. It is operated by a switch in the cab and when closed you can crank all day and nothing will happen! The only way to start the truck is to get out and pull the leaver and your good to go! I would think that them making tons of noise (cranking for 30 seconds) they would get the idea and screw off! If you pull the fuse they might sit there trying to find a kill switch for a while if there are no alarms going off or anything!



Just an idea

Just got home from my trip. I appreciate all of the idea's. I was un aware the smarty had an anti theft program, my thanks go out to Marco again for going above and beyond.

I couldnt take the wheel off because my wife needed it to drive the kids to school since they broke the ignition on the one car and I had the other. What I ended up doing was running my winch cable through my gate and hooking it onto my 34' enclosed trailer (all metal). I figure it may not stop them but it would slow them down enough for the dog to catch them. They would have had to bring some hefty bolt cutters with them or actually jump my gate to unhook it and meet my Roman Cane Corso up close and personal.

I think the smarty program and a clutch bypass switch should keep it safe for a while.

When you pull fuse #9 It still cranks, just wont start.
