I've decided that having an alarm on my truck isnt enough to insure that nobody is gonna steal my truck and with the kind of money I've put in this thing, I think I want a kill switch.
Those of you who have them, what did you use and where do you have it wired?
I was thinking a wire to the fuel pump would be enough.

I have factory kill switch(pos) viper alarm, and ignition kill switch. Im actually looking at adding a fuel pump kill switch here soon since thiefs tried to still my sss again on monday night for the 3rd time. the more the beter I guess. Oh yeah I also have lojack which found the truck the second time they actually took the truck in about 12 hrs.

Thats what I'm wanting to do eventually. As soon as It's back in action I'm hooking up the Valet mode.
Putting some train horns under the back seat on that hump all the way to the back would damn sure kick me out of a truck real fast.

Under the seat is quite a bit more realistic than that sarcasm.
I know it's a little obsurd. but so is walking outside and not having a vehicle. A train horn going off in the dead of the night is loud enough. Add it with you in the cab of a truck on a tank that'll let it run for 30 seconds and I really doubt they'll be laughing.
Not saying it's something I'd do as my first option. But If thefts keep going like they are It's something to consider.
I'd think a simple valet mode that won't let the truck keep running would be enough to keep it from being stollen, Unless they use a trailer.
I don't think there's any alarm system worth buying. When's the last time you saw an alarm going off and thought about calling the police? they'll be in the car taking it with people walking by watching and no one will say anything. Best bet is something that really gets some attention or that doesn't let it move at all.
