    Looking to disable the truck while away for short periods so it cannot start but only crank or not. Eventually I will install a kill switch when time permits but for the short term what would be the best way. I was going to pull the Fuel Relay but I don't see one marked in the fuse box under the hood. Appreciate any info someone has.

    Usually you pull the fuel pump relay or fuse, not sure if this is a good idea on DI engines though.

    If you have keyless entry there is a way to disable the key fob from transmitting. Something like hold the lock key and simultaneously press the other button twice?

    Doesn't your truck have an Engine Immobilizer?

    You could probably pull any fuse relating to the Ignition system.

    Couldn't you just pull the battery out and store it away from the truck?
