Big5er Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Damn, sorry to hear about anyone loosing their truck. But that is why I plan to have a Ravelco installed on my HDT. It's cheap peace of mind.

Steve from SoCal Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Phil, Are you done as a deputy? How is the Ravelco different than a Lowjack?

Darryl&Rita Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Lojack tracks, Ravelco kills the ignition to prevent the theft. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

Dennis M Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I have a Cyclops in my Jeep Wrangler. Probably just as effective and cheaper. Never thought of one for the Volvo, never thought of a 20 year old truck being that vulnerable.

Big5er Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Ravelco claims 43 years and 5 million installs with zero defeats. That's the one I want. Hehe Steve, I'm currently on vacation, working a side job near the site of the chemical plant fire we had. They are paying stoopid money, so I'm kinda double dipping for a while. I've been here for 25 days so far, working 12s and 16s. I've got 4 more weeks of vacation and comp time so when it's done, so am I. I'll go back to work for 1 week to turn in my stuff and I'm done.

Pete Kildow Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Almost bet that truck has been stripped by now. Been a lot of trucks stolen around there over the years. Most times, its a guy with a bad engine. They work for Spot and Steal. Get the items there truck needs. Then the rest is left for the owner to find. Hope they find it before that happens. My uncles 1976 KW got stolen around there also. They found it later, interior was stripped. Engine, new tires, 18 speed and rears were gone. Plus a Million in drugs, he was hauling for Drug store warehouses back then. Company truck I was driving. They tried to steal in 1986, but did not get out of the parking lot. Company put in a schrader valve in every truck. Under the seat, you crack the valve. And truck would run out of fuel fast. Had to prime the old 350 Cummins a few times. That I forgot to close the valve. But the company never lost a truck with that little trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
