Do you mean something to keep it from getting stolen, or what? If I have to leave my truck at the airport for a long time or something like that, I usually just take the rotor out of the distributor.

I have a kill switch and it's kept the pickup from "going south;)"
at least twice.
Does anyone else on here do like I do? :)
When I hear a car alarm go off I look the other way and hope it
really is being stolen. :) "go, get out of here quick, Dude! :)"

i have a audio alarm with an ignition immobilizer, a truck steering wheel club, hood is chained and locked. the trucks are parked under our motion sensor flood lights at the front of the house. our bedroom window is approx. 4 feet from my trucks hood,and our 2 rottweilers sleep next to our trucks in their kennel. the whole house and shop have a monitored security and fire alarm.i feel pretty good about our home security. if we go out, i take the dogs in the vehicles too. the dogs really are friendly,(but as most dogs )they will bark if you bug them. most people wont go near a rottweiler,much less two at a time. "Paxton", the puppy is 132 lbs. right now ,and still growing. like dirty harry asked,"you feeling lucky punk?"

I try not to park places where my baby might dissapear but if i have to, I usually pull the coil wire. And I have an alarm wired to the doors,hood, motion, and sound. Although I usually don't use that. Its way to sensitive. Never thought of pulling the rotor

the coil wire is the wire that starts from the center of the distributor, right?
fmc400, you're in Austin so I guess you go to ABIA. I wouldn't trust my truck in East Austin. that's the rough part of town.
