someone stole my car keys today, and i had to get it towed home, and now im worried about someone stealing my car. what are my options? i dont want to get new keys made, i want to get new locks and ignition, how easy would the ignition be to do myself?

 

Do you have an immobilizer in your truck? If not, rather than swapping out a new ignition and locks, consider having an immobilzer installed in your rig. The keys are useless without the immobilizer, and you'll also have peace of mind knowing that your rig is more protected from being stolen by hot wiring, or being driven away with keys. Did you have house keys attached to the truck keys when they were stolen? If you did, do your insurance papers in your rig have your address on them?

Just my 2 cents.

an immobalizer? is that the box iv seen under dashes with a computer chip key deal?

it was just my truck keys...

 

Yup, indeed it is. There are different brands and different degrees of protection. Do some due diligence and find out what's best for you.

Good Luck!!

Just have it rekeyed and use your alarm.

What you're seeing under the dash sounds like the the alarm module, but with the alarm "armed", I don't thhink that it would start even with the key because of the built-in starter kill switch.
