Disable 2000 Expy for holidays

Gentlemen,

What's a good way to disable my 2000 Expy?

On the 79 F250, I just yank out the rotor - not too many vehicle thieves just happen to have a rotor for a 351M in their toolbox. But the 2000 Expedition????

Thanks.

Pull the wheels/tires off and leave it sitting on blocks.

Disconnect or remove the innercia switch.

Remove the starter, or the battery cables.

unplug the fuel pump.


Theres plenty of creative ways to disable it.

unplug the mass airflow sensor. if the MAF does not see airflow, it will not run.

With gas prices I can't imagine someone wanting to steal your 2000 Expy. Just put the average MPG on the windshield. That'll keep everyone away. That's how I disable my Excursion.

Then the gasoline thieves will come by and drain that tank real fast.

You can't siphon modern day tanks.

Honestly, if a person is in that much fear maybe he should move to a safer place.
