The stuff I've done to mine I know will slow someone down. I would bet any of us could look at another member's truck that has a secret and have a least a little trouble getting it going.

You can't use those. They are only designed for racing and the solenoid will melt after a short period of time. You need the actual Micro-Lock that has a lever on it. These are 100% mechanical and activate by pushing the brake pedal down and then flipping the arm. Acts just like having your foot on the pedal. I got one out of a junk yard that I want to look into hooking into my front brakes for winching operations since I have a manual trans.
Micro-Locks are still available new but are around $400 now since they had to add a bunch of stupid safety things to them. They are also no longer legal for instalation as an emergency brake since a hydraulic failure would render it useless. You used to see them alot on medium duty trucks like the power companies bucket trucks.
