Hi Marc

I always felt that CMPs were inherently protected from theft from the casual modern thief. In many countries they are going to climb into the wrong side of the cab in the first place. Then they have to actually be able to read to figure out which lever does what. Then they are going to be limited to about 15 MPH as escape speed because they won't be able to shift out of second gear assuming they can figure out that the can start it in 2nd.

Having said all of that I have added either a fuel shutoff valve or switch to kill the electric fuel pump as a real deterrent. Figure if they are going to steal it then getting it running only to have it die once on the road is more effective.

But back to Gerry's truck, when you sell it hope you will be sure plug the new owner into the MLU and CMP community if they are not already familiar with it.

Cheers Phil
