have any of your trucks ever been broken into? if so, how did they get it, and/or what did the stealership/cops say...i had my truck broken into on Friday afternoon, saturday morning i went to ford paid 300 to get it fixed...they say its a very common problem, but does anyone know if thats true? and if it happens again, how can i go about NOT spending 300 again

thanks

 

It seems like its pretty easy in our trucks. That's why I got my kick *** alarm. This thing will go off if I shut my toolbox to hard or put my foot on the step ups. lol

 

well thats why nothing got stolen from my car, i think they were interested in my tv...my dad had my car, im assuming they did w/e they had to do to unlock the door, and when they opened it, the alarm went off, and they ran...i think im going to get the proximity sensors (that annoying *** chirp if you get near the car) and the micro window sensors (incase some1 decides to take a spark plug to one of my windows) but they say its done a lot to the 150's and the super dutys...is there a site that will tell/show statistics of this?

 

What kind of alarm do you have?

 

clifford matrix 3.5rsx...u?

 

Very nice I almost bought that one myself.

Code Alarm SRT 9000. I had to send the remote back in because it wouldn't charge and I should recieve it TMRW hopefully.

 

I dont think you will be happy with the proximity sensors. They go off if people park next to you.

 

I don't know about the F150's as much but on the 250's they pry back the door handle with a srew driver and move the door lock rod. Jimmi jammers are a good investment on the 250's. They might be worth looking into.

Also alarms are ok in your driveway, but if it goes off and you don't hear it, other people won't give 2 craps.

 

Alarms should be outlawed. Think about it.. How often do you hear an alarm and ignore it. What good is that? Takes about 2 seconds to turn it off if you know what you are doing. Just use common sense and don't leave stuff visible. When you pull in a parking lot turn down the radio so they don't know you have a good system in it. If you area has a high auto theft rate put in a kill switch. Attach it to the fuel pump power. Harder to bypass. The vehicle will start then shut off. The thief will not want to find out why the vehicle quit.

 

This is my 3rd vehicle and by the grace of God I've never had any of them broken into. I hope not to experience it ever.
