Possible theft from my engine

[DailyMoparGuy]

Yup - from JSCAN themselves -

Good to know. I’ll be enabling that feature this weekend.

I’m curious about your trail cam. Make, model, how’s is it hooked up etc. the forward facing trail cam is the one my truck did not have that I wanted. Any information you can provide would be great

I think you meant to tag @Vtur. Mine is the factory trail cam.

If you have the 8.4 UConnect, there is an analog Cargo Camera input that can be used to add a forward facing camera. The Tazer people (ZAutomotive) were the first to offer a kit, but there are quite a few clones now available. A Tazer, Jscan, or AlfaOBD can be used to activate the Cargo Camera input.

I think it looks horrible.

To each his own. I don't think it's all noticeable. Would much rather use my factory key than have to walk to each side of my truck to accomplish what should take 3 seconds.

You still have to go to each side and then to the front............

I'm going for a wireless lock solution.

I used this cam. It come with the cigarette socket pigtail harness, no splicing required. I attached it to the Bolt Lock with custom made bracket.

Plus you have to knock a big chunk out of the grill...... not really pleasing. I'd rather go with the type that go where the latches are - no cutting or hacking anything and they belong there.
(And setup the hood alarm, of course)

The problem with the latch locks is they are no where near as strong or secure as the bolt lock.

There’s no shortage of douchebaggery in the hood when the kids are out of school. I park outside and in full view of the driveway security camera.

I woke up this morning with my hood opened up and these wires sitting on top. The yellow wire says gasoline and oil resistant. I couldn’t see any wires in my actual engine bay that looked cut and no warning lights came on when I started my truck. Everything seems to be running fine, but I don’t really want to drive any further than I absolutely have to until I figure out if something was stolen. Any help of what I may need to look for would be much appreciated.

Those look to be 120v AC home wiring not sure why’d that would be on top of your engine unless someone was trying to use it as a bypass or something.

Thats solid core wiring for home wiring and the like. Someone could have been using it as a jumper for some reason. Not sure what someone would be trying to do in the engine bay.

I think you can power the fuel pump from the relay box to get fuel from the fuel rail

Was your fuel level the same as when you parked it?

I purchased and installed the Lasfit hood lock which doesn't interfere with your front trail cam, and you can't see the lock from the front at all. It locks and unlocks with the key fob using pneumatics. It works well and gives a piece of mind. I also have enabled the hood alarm via my taser. I'd recommend that you get the trim tool kit, just makes removing the grill & trim pieces easier.

I installed the Rugged Ridge locking hood latches the other day. They are beefy. To open them without the key. You need a good size pry bar, and will end up doing damage to the hood.
