2003 F250, how do i prevent theft?

[Turts]

Folks, how do I keep my truck where I parked it?
Hidden shut off switch with warning stickers on the window?
Some expensive mobilizer/alarm?
Flashing LED's?
The club?
Honestly, I've never worried about a truck going missing, This may be a pain!

I believe ford has a interlock kit attached to the dome light. The dome light needs to be on to start the engine.

Everybody is a comedian including me. For whatever reason, these trucks were really easy to steal and that is always a PITA.

The most effective thing I have seen was a guy who rigged a remote cut off switch for the starter. He had the switch hidden under the seat. Worked good but did not stop the smashed window and damage from two more attempted thefts. Hard to say which is worse. a messed up truck that needs to be repaired or one that is simply gone. Due to the age, anybody interested in it will be looking for an east ride as opposed to stripping it down or falsifying a VIN and trying to get it into another country.

There's a device similar to the club that attaches the brake pedal to steering wheel and locks. Maybe use that and pull relay for starter and fuel pump. Every security device for these trucks can be easily bypassed.

Put on blocks and take wheels off? :don'tknow:

Guy in revy 2 years ago had his stolen. He had the fuel pump fuse pulled. For how fast they got in and took it from watching the video looks like they plugged something into the obd that bypassed it. They started it and drove away.

Ravelco - Ford Super Duty Page

leave it unlocked so they don't wreck anything with a big sign saying this has been disabled. Also a motion alarm.

done deal

Is it a diesel? A positive air shutoff like a Roda Deco valve certainly makes it harder to start.
Either that or replace the blue oval with a gold bowtie, not only will it be harder to steal, you will actually be cool!

Pull the fuel pump relay

My friend has a 2004 f350 on 40s has a hidden Line lock on the brake they can start it but can't move it it's a manual 6spd and just stalls

Don't give out secrets on here. Those pricks that steal creep sites like s&m. 12 gauge slugs would be my choice if possible lol

Thanks guys... I'm not too worried about the truck, but, when it's parked with a couple sleds, gear and more in the trailer, I start to worry.
I think some warning stickers, LED's and a passive alarm system will be required.

Have a alarm system installed on your trailer with all the batteries installed inside. Then have a separate one installed on your truck. Can get them to notify your cell phone if someone tries to break in

The broken window thing and whatever else they do is the biggest pita, IMHO. If they don't get the truck going, it is a pain in azz to fix everything. Smart parking and visual deterrents seem to help but are not a guarantee. I sleep well at my house but not so well in hotels/parking lots. I feel your anxiety. Good luck.

get a different truck, it was the simplest thing I could think of when I had one.

My 05 had gotten busted into a couple times.., but wasn't able to be stolen..,they busted the ignition due to not starting in the cold.. haha, true story. Anyways was going to do these:
Vehicle Security and Theft Prevention Devices
Would maybe stop a few entries, but maybe at the expense of door damage too..,
I ended up trading it in with locks and ignition busted up.., would've been stolen sooner or later at the rate of thefts in the area..
good luck, get good insurance.

Put a Denver Boot on the trailer if that is what you are worried about. They will see it and move onto the next one.
