Ravelco Anti Theft Device Information - See what makes Ravelco Top of Vehicle Theft Prevention
Its a 16 pin plug that has a female connector which is wired into different parts of the truck i.e. starter, fuel pump, etc. When you remove the plug it breaks the connection and the truck will not start. You can unplug it while the trucks running and it kills it. Theres also dummy wires coming out of the plug that the installer who did mine wired cleanly into the main harness to throw someone off if theyre trying to trace the wires. All the wires are black and they are in a steel braided cable under the dash that goes into the main harness in the engine bay. The pins are unique to each vehicle and Ravelco claims there arent any master plugs. Ive plugged mine into two other trucks with Ravelco's and their truck wouldnt start with mine and my truck wouldnt start with their plugs.
I paid $400 installed for mine. Of course you can do your own kill switch for cheaper but i have a lot of money in my truck and i dont mind spending the money on security to make sure its clean and done right.
