I searched before posting. Guess my search-fu wasn't very strong.
I just want to stop some kid from jumping into it and driving over their friends. A starter cutoff is probably the best way to avoid this.
Will I need a special 24-volt keyed switch for this, or will a 12-volt switch work okay?
A keyed battery lockout was my first thought, but it seems these trucks can run without batteries. So if the truck were to roll fast enough down a hill, it would start anyways.
Is there any other method to disable these trucks?
Fuel pump cutoff is a great idea! The truck couldn't run without fuel. Would a 12-volt ignition work, or do I need to get something specifically for 24-volt? I've never owned a 24-volt vehicle before.
Edit: D'oh! Guess that won't work.
I recently purchased a deuce from GL, but haven't picked it up yet. Once it arrives, I'm a little concerned about theft. What do you do to secure an M35A2? I hear the government chains the steering wheels, but I'm not even sure how that works. Is it chained from the wheel to a bracket on the...
Just assume you are going to keep it. Looking at mine, I checked Boxes A and C. Under box A, I added "For Intended Use" and nothing below box C. The rest (B,D,E,F,G) have "Not Applicable".
I haven't picked up my truck yet, and I can't get the history from Carnac without the S/N. Does anyone know the bumper numbers on my truck?

Chvss65, hope you don't mind my asking this in your thread. It seemed like the appropriate place.
What's the general time from the EUC being submitted to Battle Creek, to GL issuing the invoice for pickup? Should I start making plans now, or is it going to be another month?
I know time frames are wonky (hence this thread) but does this part usually happen quickly, or does it take several weeks?
If there were any way to test drive one first, I'd recommend it. While I was shopping for a deuce there were two trucks I was interested in and test drove them both. Keep in mind these trucks have stiff clutches compared to a car. I wouldn't want to drive one in heavy traffic. The manual...
