Hey Guys, Just ordered a 2014 Sierra SLT Crew 4x4 with the All Terrain pkg and was wondering about the anti-theft system they have in these trucks. I have already downloaded the 2014 owners manual from GM and read it cover to cover and one line caught my attention regarding anti-theft and it reads: "This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal". I also live in a city where vehicle thefts are quite high, especially newer pickup trucks that are usually found within hours stripped and burnt to the ground on a particular indian reserve north of here. Happened to a guy I know, the cops told him it is nearly a daily occurance. I'd like to avoid this.. My question is should I install an additional alarm? If so, can you recommend the best to get? I currently have a 2006 Sierra and it came with a Viper alarm the previous owner put in. This alarm disables the starter so it can't be hotwired. If you don't disable the alarm from the keychain and get in and turn the key nothing happens, truck won't start until you press the unlock button. I like this feature and thinking about adding one to the new truck. What are your thoughts?, Opinions? Suggestions? Is it a waste of money to install one? Are these new-age car thieves able to disarm these new alarms and simply drive away? Any other precautions I can take? I appreciate all of your answers and advice, thank you in advance.. - Alan
