How To Make 6.4 Theft Proof

[gman1]

I use the Revelco system on mine. They claim not one vehicle was ever stolen with there system installed.

Without too much of a derail, whats the story? Stolen and never recovered?

Based on my mods they figured the truck would have been shipped out of the country. 13mnths and no word.

They just prevent the engine from being started ? Why do you need one on an 08 ? They can't start it without the key, can they ?

and they render your remote start useless if equipped

Yes they can. My truck had the Ford PCM, ECU installed and they still bypassed it.

Your truck with the swapped engine ? That is probably because the Cummins ECM wasn't using the SKIM module. The PATS module won't stop the Cummins engine from being (jump) started. The SKIM module is supposed to do that.

The PATS module will stop the 6.4 from being started. No key, no run, as far as I know anyway.

Won't this damage the HPFP if you run without it on ?

I think it was a 12 valve

No it was a 06 CR. The Ford factory control modules were still on the truck. My security system was still active. My truck did not come with a smart key. The earliest of the 08 SD did not have that set up yet. Hence a stolen truck.

This is true. Personally, I'll give up my remote start. Doesn't do me much good if the truck isn't where I parked it.

The main reason i did it was i got sick of the airdog running when i was changing tunes. But even so ide rather replace my hpfp then lose all the money already put into mods etc. Also fwiw ive seen alot of these trucks run dry and brought to my shop and only once destroyed the pump but contamination from the tank caused that.

Don't leave your registration in the vehicle either...

Anyone breaking into your truck now knows where you live...and that your not at home. (If your parked at an airport)

I put a strip of black tape over the VIN number in the windshield so you can't see it. (Guys have called dealerships saying they locked their keys/lost their keys, and here is the VIN...can you make me another key please?)

DON'T use your remote to unlock your truck at a hotel/motel/airport. Theives are now using scanners to "see", and remember the frequency of your remote, and use it when you go inside...(Lost items mostly...unless they have lots of time to work the ignition switch.)

Theft never seems to happen to the people who WANT their truck to go missing...
