Now you get a new motor and get to upgrade all your electronics and other stuff, that is some consolation for all the trouble of having your truck stolen.

F350-06, Studs etc. already in the works. I didn't leave any stone unturned. I am very meticulous with my gear and what goes into it.

bayou, yeah, the long block and electronics upgrade is good, I wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't sign off on it knowing the possibility of the motor etc. exploding 3 months down the road. They start the work tomorrow.

Glad you got your "toy" back. Bummer though, you'll have to redo your sig...
Is it possible to find out what this mysterious tool is?

I really do feel bad for the families of the dead.
Another dose of chlorine in the gene pool maybe...

STEVE-250, once the installer looks at it, should have some kind of idea how they got around it. I am curious myself.

I'm glad you got it back, and sounds like after all the work it will be as good as new.

Are you going to put in a new security system. Starter kill saved mine for the crooks. He gave up when it wouldn't start. Oh by the way....Truck looks awesome.
