    Do you have a tin foil hat?

    Anything is possible,.. why do you think God gave men boobies?

    Start by looking up under the dash and cut any wire that doesnt look right, The red ones seem to be the most common for GPS Technology,...OH AND BEFORE you start doing that make sure that you take out all the light bulbs out in the cab, wrap them in foil and put them in the trailer. Good Luck Budaaay, If you do what all your trucker brothers say then you'll be OK you can hide from the evil conspiracy that wants to see you fail

    Those silly finance companies, always shooting themselves in the foot. Don't they know if they repo your truck that you'll just stop making payments to them. Plus they have to pay a repo guy to come get your truck. They are gonna lose a small fortune on you.

    The tracking device is located in the #5 cylinder, pull the head bolts and she'll be right there. Usually you can just take the truck to your local dealer and they can square this problem away pretty quick.

    I found your tracker. Step out of the tractor & look between your legs at 90 degrees.

    Don't listen to all these naysayers. It's your name on the truck door, it's YOURS.... First you have to drop your steer tire pressure to 40psi. What that does is cause them to heat up while you drive, and that will interfere with the tracking system on board. Make lots of sharp turns, think "zig and zag", so it'll be harder for them to get a lock on your location. Finally, stop adding fuel, because they'll track your fuel stops, like in the movies. Cash only, and you might consider moving to a cabin in the woods. Better yet, turn the truck into a cabin in the woods.

    First off. Seek out the GPS module and remove from truck. Step 2 catch a deer and attach the GPS module to said deer along with a battery pack. Now that you have bought yourself some extra time, file off all your VIN numbers and remove all company decals. Buy about 6 dozen rattle cans of paint and repaint the truck. Now move the truck out of town and store it in a barn, out of sight. Problemo solvo! Dilema deleted!

    If it is one of those title loans deals, yes they will put a tracking device and take your payments ontime (with 36% interest) and still possibly repo your truck. Those people are just a step or two above load brokers I swear.
