No, the factory security is not enough. Buy an aftermarket alarm with motion/shock sensor, ignition disable, and a dash mounted LED light, visible from both front doors. Check out http://www.trucksecurity.com for more security options. Also, http://www.autoguard.us for the hood latch protector, and watch the video link, (upper left corner). You can also buy "rear crew cab door handles", or "Escalade chrome rear door handles", with out, key holes, and install them, on the front doors. I would also buy a Stant locking gas cap, Mcgard or Gorilla locking wheel lugs, and an extra spare tire rod/cable lock too. And, buy a Pop-lock or Bully locking tailgate handle. This may sound like too much, but it will detour theft.

The factory setup is a content theft alarm, and thus is designed to basically sound if the door is unlocked without the use of the key or remote. If someone were to break the glass and reach in, you're out of luck.

I'm not worried so much about any contents of the truck being stolen, I'm more concerned about the truck itself. The GM Passlock system is supposed to disable the fuel system. My question should have been more specific. Is the Paslsock system sufficient. Anyone know of a truck being stolen regardless of this system?

If someone wants to take your truck, they are going to take it. It doesn't hurt to use other security products to help, but I figure if someone wants mine that bad, nothing is really gonna stop them.

I had the early warning Lo-Jack installed in mine. I figure with Onstar, E/W Lo-Jack, the vehicle alarm, and the club there are alot of systems to defeat. With all that said, like stated above if they want it they will get it, but I will make it as difficult as I can.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
