Well, maybe not burglar "proof", but it helps. My X was broken into just after I bought it. They stuck a screwdriver into the keyhole and pried it up. They stole over $1000 worth of tools, and my new handgun (yikes). I assume they were in and out within a minute or so because my grandmother was just a few feet away and never noticed a thing! When I went to Ford to have the door replaced, the advisor recommended that I install the REAR door handle onto the drivers door. It fits fine but eliminates a keyhole. It works great, and there's no keyhole to pry into. I wrote a gripe letter to 8 of the top Ford execs and board members about the crappy door lock mechanism.... no response, though. The cop that wrote up my police report giggled as he told me that half of his theft reports are Ford keyhole break-ins!!!!!

yall dont get it, if its a pro, hes going to see that you hve an alarm and he will disable it before it goes off, hide it so they dont know you have one and you stand a chance of calling the cops and activating the lowjack before they get to the chop shop!

It really is all about size!!!!!!

I know alot of Superduties get stolen without keys but the Excursions basically need the $100 coded keys due to the embedded PATS unless then again they hook up with a wheel lift and a set of dollies and tow it away

... If you want theft protection, mount a toggle switch up under the dash that disconnects the fuel pump. Costs less than $5. ....

Would anyone be willing to share the color code/location of the fuel pump wire described here? I don't have a wiring diagram but would really like to implement this?

Thanks in advance!
