Arod kill switch
I am considering getting one and was looking to get a little feedback from anyone else that has installed one. I do not want anyone to expose any secrets but I would like some general feedback like would you do it again? Was it worth the cost? I am absolutely capable of developing something on my own but perhaps his kit has some clever ideas or components that make it the way to go.

I have not seen any info about this kill switch, if it is a switch it can be found and flipped. I have a Ravelco installed on my 23 F250 and it cost around $900. It is a 16 pin plug in an armored cable and all the wires are black, try tracing them! Supposedly several million sold and not one vehicle stolen. If you decide to do it yourself use a multi pin plug and make all the wires black, switches will be found and flipped.

I know you are referring to the Powerstroke.

You want to interrupt multiple systems not just one, I would hit starting, fuel and ignition at the very least.

With a properly installed unit you will never be able to trace the any of the wires in couple of minutes. The Youtuber is an idiot and would never be able to find any of the connections on my truck in less than an hour. Maybe he could trace them in a 50's or 60's car but not on a newer vehicle.
