    Thats what I do to my personal vehicles at home. I have satellite trackers in all of them,.. but what good will that do me 1000 mi from home? So I have battery kill switch, fuel pump kill switch and shut off valve in the fuel line. No one will be driving them away,. thats for sure.

    Sadly,.. my Columbia is completely unprotected. I keep meaning to do something when I'm home, but I keep putting it off.

    do not let it unprotected. Take off ignition relay from fuse box and take it with you home.

    Y, You are right. But when You do this, it would have one site effect. You would loose the air. I am not sure about the compressor. Maybe it would not build up the air this fast.
    What do You think would it be possible to build up the air faster like it escapes?

    This is right, but you would destroy the valve and the air would leak. Or what do You think?

    try to pull the air knobs on your truck vary hard. It will come out without damaging the valve. did not happen to you?
    You sleep in the truck and weak up from engine noise. The next truck moves forward but you feel like your truck is the one that moves back and you instinctively pull them vary hard..))) happened to me many times.

    If I had to lock everything up I would move. We even leave the keys in our trucks at the shop, no fence around it either. They have been doing it since '78 and never had anything stolen.

    Heres an easy way to setup a kill switch. Start truck, if yours is similar to mine you have several in-line fuses at the battery bank. Pull fuses one at a time till truck cuts off. Put a hidden switch on the wire that turned the truck off. I found this on mine by accident but im guessing its the starter relay power wire or maybe not since the truck still cranks???? The wire i did it to on mine will let the truck crank but it will never start.
