Some Idiot Stole My Antenna

And they had the balls to replace it with a bent one! And in the parking lot at work. WTF? They also tried to get my bumper shield but that bitch is locked on. I can tell because besides the drivers side door handle, that is the only clean spot on the truck...

 

Any suggestions on how to either upgrade (not read replace with something aftermarket) the "security system" to be able to pick up someone jacking with the truck or how to find the nice person that did it so I can bust their knees?

I thought of that but then I started thinking about problems that it would cause. I figured that an electrical field big enough around the truck to shock the shit out of someone would probably cause it to want to attract lightning and that would be a whole nother set of issues....

i'm not sure if you have the stock alarm but I know viper, autopage and all the other brands make this and it senses when someone is to close to your vehicle. It might be annoying for false alarms but at least it will set off your alarm so people will get the hell away from your truck

hahahaha! You really DID think about it... About as far as I thought was "yeeeeah... You better make damn sure to disarm the alarm every time BEFORE you get to the vehicle... And parking it at the mall would probably be a bad idea, too..." :lol:

Yeah, I've seen those... Ok... I've heard those... Walking through a parking lot, get too close to a vehicle (say, crossing from one row to another). "VIPER ARMED!! Please step away from the vehicle!!" If you don't step away, it tells you to back off again and THEN it starts a count-down. "Five... Four... Three... Two... One..." and the alarm goes off.

 

If someone was ballsy enough to steal it from you at work, having an alarm talk to them probably wouldn't do much good.

 

Speaking of work... Any chance they have any security cameras on the parking lot around where your truck is parked?

Yea, it is stock. I wonder if that could be added to the stock alarm setup? Like maybe wiring it in series with the hood latch alarm so that it would set off the horn?

Na, no cameras. Owner of the company does not believe in fangled technical mumbo jumbo like that. I tried to get him to do that a few years back. Lucky for him he drives a Smart car. Nobody would want to take parts off of it and it is only 3x3 feet so it does not get dinged. But I could probably flip it over on its door by myself...

They've changed it then. I walked up to a car yeeeeeeeeeears ago (back when I worked retail in a shopping mall) and it started that "step away from the car" and count down b/s...

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.
