    Do you have a schematic of the trucks wiring?

    I would hook it up to ignition or fuel so you cut those off.

    What kinda switch is it? Just a regular flip switch?

    I know removing the EFI fuse prevents the engine from starting but also will reset your ecu.. sigh..

    Hook it up to your clutch switch behind the pedal. That's what I did to a few of my trucks or hook up a kill switch to the fuel pump. Just a few ideas.:waytogo:

    Keeping a low profile is a good technique and not pounding your sounds as well.

    Just install the whole alarm. Even if its for power locks, you can still wire it up and not use that function, or buy cheap "pushers" so it unlocks the doors.

    Just remember that if someone wants your truck bad enough, they will try ANYTHING to get it. No matter how many kill switches, alarms, and pit bulls you put in your truck.

    Whatever you decide to do, make sure you cut into the wires at a discrete location. You dont want them to look under the dash and notice right away that theres a switch on the truck cause they can see where you wired it and will follow the wires to the switch.
