Simple things like a fuel valve shut off somewhere, they might start the truck but it would only run for a couple of minutes before it stalled.
I would consider renting a space to park it with other commercial equipment, one vandalized break in will buy a space for a long time...scottied67 Thanks this. -
You could always get a tire lock, so there is outside proof the truck isn't going anywhere.
Personally if it's just a truck I'd rent a self storage building or of none in the area, space at a terminal of one of the smaller guys that may be willing to do that.

all my truck equipped rmt smart tracker, additional starter killer switch, and one more relay switch that must hide somewhere in the truck for my driver in case leave the truck in unsafe area, and one last stuff is car arlam on both door so no one wanna get into our truck with noise sound sound hehehe.

a battery cable switch. where you turn the batteries off.
the last company i worked for had them in there construction equipment.
a fuel shut off switch. wouldn't it be a ##### getting the truck running again? as if it ran out of fuel. -
Sounds like ya got it covered...drive a truck nobody else wants and you don't have to worry about it getting stolen.

There are new car alarm systems that can text message when the alarm goes off. They usually have a gps tracking feature as well. If you have a couple trailers or less I'd hook up a door sensor on it as well. Besides that an air cuff lock, GOOD Enforcer type kingpin lock and trailer door lock are about all you can do.

Thank you for the mention snooze. LoJack is now available with our Early Warning System which alerts the vehicles owner/keyfob holder via text/phone/email if an unauthorized person moves your protected vehicle.Last edited by a moderator: Sep 7, 2011
