m1008 Stolen out of my driveway!!!

[combat jump]

doesnt anyone change lock cylinders anymore ?? the box store sells a lock that your neighbor doesnt have a key too!!! or use the chain thats in the floor. or a hidden main power switch.

That was one of the first mods I did - changed all three cylinders. Kragen rents the wheel pulling kit for free, and there is a great youtube video on how to get the ring clip off.

That said, I think I'll be using my chain now.

I never lock mine and I always leave the keys in the ignition. As hard as mine is to start it's unlikely anyone will figure out the starting sequence. As much pain and angst I have with mine the thiefs will most likely bring it back.

Glad you got it back...

I'm also glad that your truck is back home. Changing the locks may seem like a good deterrent but getting a key is something a thief is unlikely to do. They break the steering column or hot wire but most of the time they drive away because the keys were left in it.
