Kill switch on 2011 6.7 ?

If I was to put a kill switch on an F350, 6.7, which wire under the hood would I cut to run the wire into the cab where the switch will be. I've done this before on several 7.3's, but everything is different on this new motor. Thanks

I think they are just a little too new for the forum to know that yet, but hey, someone might know.....

anyway, why the need for the kill switch? isn't the key good enough?

The new trucks have PATS, why the need for a kill switch? truck can't start without the key and the chip in the key......

you would want to get under the power distribution box and tap into it there. I really don't think it is necessary with the pats.

I had same concerns on my 2011 - But the new to 2011 key is suppost to be pretty tough. That being said all my old trucks had "kill" switches and if you want to e-mail me I can tell you the wires to work on that will stop the truck dead in it's tracks...

I possible won't need to do this. I've always done it in the past. I don't have much confidence in alarm systems and a kill switch well hidden is a little insurance. Why, I don't live to far from Mexico, that will kinda explain it. I do plan on doing this eventually, just don't know how yet. Thanks guys for the replies.
