Diamondss Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm thinking that my SS might become my daily driver again. My wife has an SUV that is the primary family vehicle and my SS would become the secondary daily/what I drive to work and stuff without the kids. I'm thinking of ways I can make my truck difficult to steal and was wondering if anyone tried disconnecting the battery and installing locking hood pins? Seems like that might be one of the easiest ways to stop theft. Any thoughts? Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Here's several ideas throughout this thread. The ghost switch sounds awesome http://customgm.com/showthread.php?t=4332 Bgray ended up with a keyed switch, and this one explains it a little better http://customgm.com/showthread.php?t=8863 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldofashow Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Electrified door handles would be nice the results would be shockingly funny to watch all pun intended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 An NRA sticker..... Seriously if someone wants bad enough they are gonna take it all your going to do is slow them down. If your that concerned a high quality alarm might be in order. A few weeks back at work I was staring out the window at the office. Someone got their car repo'd. Seriously the tow guy had that car outta there in like under a minute and a half.... It was interesting to see how they did it. It was just like you see on those repo shows on TV. My boss and I watched it all from the second floor of our office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondss Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I remember in high school that my shop teacher gave me something for my Chevelle. It was a battery disconnect he picked up at princess auto where a piece would unscrew from the battery terminal and without this piece the battery didn't make a connection. The best idea would be to be able to put a program on the ECM that just wont let the truck start/move. Almost like erase the ECM so there is no program for the truck. Is there any way to disconnect a part and just take it with me? Doubtful they're going to bring a spare starter but without it the truck goes nowhere. I know as soon as I bring mine back its gonna get ripped off so I need to do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaze_v8 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I agree, them pieces of shit will take it one way or another. My advice would be removing the fuel pump fuse or multiple kill switches, even onstar. Regardless, thieves steal trucks when they catch you slipping, but that's anything in life. I say just enjoy it, and do whatever you can to PREVENT, but nothing is safe. Im telling you from experience, my truck was stolen from my job in broad day light about three weeks ago.

WTF...hate to hear that. It's happened to me too, years ago (my '92 Caddy clip longbed.) Got back a stripped, ****ed-up shell of a truck.

2003_SuperSport Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Pull the fuel pump fuse when you leave the vehicle for a extended period of time. It would be a pain in the butt to do it every time you went somewhere but atleast you wont have to worry about it being stolen... Or you can just get it supercharged and cammed and then when they try to steal it with a different PCM it wont start or run well enough for them to drive it unless they know what it has done to it and has it programmed in the pcm they are using...

Diamondss Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 This ravelco sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Nothing stops a tow truck but I know of 3 SS trucks stolen locally and they were all driven away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
