If they really want in, they're GOING to get in. You can secure the door itself like Fort Knox & they'll just break the glass. Unfortunately, it's a no win situation. The JJ & the Ravelco might slow them down. MIGHT.

 

That's why I have insurance. Why spend money that's going to cause them to destroy your truck. Just lock your truck and don't leave anything in sight from the outside.

 

 

 

I use the jimmy jammer and will be installing on this third truck. It is true they can get in if they really want to, but the fact is you can walk up to a truck with channel locks and appear as though you have opened the door with a key making it hard to spot the problem.

 

You are asking about two separate issues...getting into your new truck and second, taking your new truck. Getting in can't be stopped as long as vehicles have glass windows. Taking your truck can be stopped short of the thief having a tow truck. I defy anyone to steal my truck with the Ravelco installed. They advertise that no vehicle has ever been stolen with a properly installed RAVELCO device.

 

This is Texas ... start shooting the sons a bitches, put the fear of god into them, damn theives all need to be shot.

 

Truth. There is no way the truck can be started to be driven away with the Ravelco. The only way to steal it is to load it on a flat bed truck. Period. But true also that as long as there are windows, there will be no stopping a thief or vandal from getting in.
Just got a Ravelco installed. Pull the plug and the engine quits right now. Will not start. First in, last out. First thing getting in, install the plug. Stopping somewhere to get out, pull the plug and put on your keychain. Now remotes that detect the RFID do not matter.

 

If they want it bad enough , they're going to get it .

 

 

HC3Z-2626605-CDPTM

just bought mine from tommie Vaughn ford. about $80 its a paint to match (PTM) part, I believe mcree ford had a one that was painted white but that didn't do me any good.

 

True, but with Ravelco installed the thief will NOT be driving it away.

 

Ravelco...ok, it basically funnels all the of the main engine harness into the car where you connect a connector plug to complete the circuits. The good news, the common person trying to steal the car will just walk away, but it does not stop them from taking your stereo, seats, or anything easily left. For the pro, it's a no brainer..... as if they really want the car they are simply going to tow it or the really good pro's have an insulated car trailer.....even if the alarm is activating no one can hear it and yes, you can easily defeat the transmitting signal (if so equipped).

IMHO, you can't stop the determined pro or highly skilled better than amateur person from getting into your vehicle or stealing it..... they are just not designed for such and the software systems used in the cars today are easily accessed wirelessly deactivating onstar, etc., unlocking the doors and starting the engines......heck, you can even take control away from the driver of the vehicle at any speed...if equipped with electric steering, under 30 mph- the bad guy can also have complete control of the steering as well....in addition to the brakes, throttle, HVAC, entertainment system etc. at any speed. IMHO, the best way to approach it is..

1. install a wireless system that detects movement near the car..... that silently notifies you.....and then allows you the option of activating the horn, siren, etc.....rattling the "cages" of the person befor they have "begun" puts the amateur in a fight or flight scenario..... most will run....if they stick around trying to succeed most will fail because they are nervous and loose manipulative skills.

 

My truck does not have the painted door handles, they're black. Working online with oempartsource.com, they came up with JC3Z-2522404-AA using my VIN number. I'll know in a week or so.
