sometime between midnight-5am my truck went missing and called to see if it got towed, which i knew it couldnt of because i have good tags and wasnt parked illegally. i did however call the police and see if they towed it and there was no records of it so it going to be treated as a stolen vehicle. yes i did file a police report and waiting on the insurance company to call me back to figure it all out.. i am just dissapointed cause that truck was my baby and i just hope everything works out.

 

Sorry to heart about your loss, hopefully they will find it parked some where with little damage

 

Heard that the older dodge diesels are being stolen,just to be shipped over seas..

I hope they find yours...

 

i sure hope so, what really sucks is i had my tool bag on the floorboard and it had everybit of $7-800 just in that cause i was gonna work on a car the next morning.. im just heartbroken lol its like losing ur ole lady, the truck has been with me through thick and thin and had it for abt 5 years.. and i appreciate your concern.

 

I heard the same thing, they paint them immeaditaly and cut the vins out and ship them out, the only thing keeping me level headed is I do have full coverage with theft so once I talk to my insurance agent hopefully ill hear some good news

 

or you will hear how much your truck was worth to them.

good luck with your insurance company.

 

I got bugged just having a cooler stolen. Can't imagine having the whole truck get taken.
Hope it works out for you.

 

My heart would just sink if I went out to see my truck gone!

Hope they find it quick. If not, I really hope your ins company treats you right.

 

Thanks for the concern everybody, ill keep everyone updated as soon as I hear anything. And again I do appreciate the support and honestly it hasn't sunk in fully, this feels like a bad dream I just hope I dont find out who did this to me cause im afraid if I were to find out (even though unlikely) I would blackout and beat the brakes off the person.. excuse the ignorance, but its like losing your best friend.. the ole cummins never let me down

 

yea I walked outside and didn't see it my heart sunk and was hoping it got towed, which I knew it didn't so I called and checked and nothing.. the good thing is my insurance company has always been great to me so hopefully it'll workout.

 

I used to run kill switches on my Fords in So Cal. They'd get picked and end up over the border before you new they were gone.

I would look into this, not sure how to do it on a diesel but its probably an ignition wire. Usually, if they can't get it in fifteen to thirty seconds they will go to another vehicle.

I hope you get it back!

 

On a first gen you'd about have to put a solenoid in the fuel line. It'd fuddle up the rack, but it would kill it in a few seconds. Fuel shut off solenoid can be hot wired in seconds.

Just don't forget to hit the hidden switch before you crank it.

Pretty hard to systematically beat a tow truck, though. Likely that's the MO.

 

Where at in Ohio? Canton, here.

 

Sorry to hear about the theft of your truck, hopefully as others have said it will be found soon. Just out of curiosity did you have any kind of theft deterrent on your truck? The thieves seem to be getting better at going around the things we put on our trucks to slow them down.....GW

 

Im in columbus.. and no I dont have an alarm, I figured the 5" straight pipe was good enough lol.. and my truck was recovered last night I got a call from Athens police (a few county's over) around 130 am and its being held right now and as far as I know the only thing wrong with it is a popped steering column.. ill find out tomorrow
