    Was there any kind of remote start with cell module added to the truck. It can be tracked through the cell module if it was added.

    Talk to your lawyer or the police ? It is truly sad, so few in todays world, believe in keeping their marriage vows...

    This ^

    Also if you find a GPS, I'd recommend sticking it on a police cruiser. Let him follow them around for awhile, would work really well combined with the advice above.

    Does then entune app do any gps logging? I thought I saw somewhere the app has "Find My Car" for large parking lots etc.

    Also, do y'all have Iphones? If so, your Apple accounts may somehow still be connected and there's all sorts of ways to track that way

    Yeah, I was thinking this.

    Since my phone is linked to my truck I can see where it's parked through my map app.

    C5DB6ACA-4E6D-4066-914A-9216ED337239.jpg

    As you can see it's a little off. I'm actually above it in my office and the garage is below me.

    OP, go through you head unit settings and see what phones are connected and delete all that aren't yours. Might help?

    Sooner or later, the two of you have to come to terms, it’ll drive both of you nuts, maybe leading to rash behavior. Be careful.

    Regarding the co-signed loan.

    Consider this. Go get a loan from a separate lender in your name only. Use that money to pay off the previous loan.

    Then you could work with the DMV to have the title in your name only.

    If you find a tracker, install it on a garbage truck. They run all over town, many stops and trips to the dump site.

    Op, stop fucking around online and contact law enforcement.

    domestic situations are way too volatile to take it easy and go at it alone.

    not trying to frighten you, but if you know anyone that’s a cop, they’ll all tell you these situations can spiral out of control quickly.

    contact police and document document document.

    granted, I’m just one more voice in this thread, but I’m telling you to take this more seriously out of an abundance of caution.

    Not sure how you 'know for a fact', but will just assume it's true.

    Why does the following have to be technology based? Following is easy if you have the time.

    'Finding' is what technology is helpful with.

    If you are being 'found' you certainly may be being tracked.

    You say you got a new phone/number/carrier. Means nothing if the apps/data on your old phone was ported to the new one, and something like 'Life 360' (there are many) was on the old one in a hidden file you don't even know is there.

    You could try a simple test.

    Remove the battery from your phone. Take a drive. Double back. Check for followers. Go to your divorce lawyers office or police station, reinstall the battery.

    If the phone is the tracking source, then without power.......it can't be tracked. If you are followed while driving, then the tracker is in the truck.

    This. Get off the board and contact the police ASAP..unless I missed the obvious and you've done that already. Especially if you can prove he's tracking you.

    And good luck. I have a daughter and don't even want to think about a mess like this for her.

    @MickDog13 said it best. get to the police. period.

    This won't send your location to anyone else and isn't the truck doing it. It's your phone. When you phone disconnects from the cars bluetooth (when turning the car off) your phone drops a pin on its map. The car is doing nothing other than telling your phone when to drop the pin.

    The navigation system. If you have the Scout GPS app installed on your phone, now may be a good time to remove it and reset your headunit to factory to delete anything stored in that nav system.

    That makes sense.

    So if it the phone isn't connect when the truck starts it won't show a location when the truck turns off?

    :gossip: I'm wondering why a spouse co-signs for a spouses vehicle. Wouldn't seem very common, but maybe I'm too sheltered.

    And all you 'go to the police' folks. 'Following' is not illegal. Many things that can come after that certainly are, but they will not care if 'following' is all that's happening.

    While police involvement *may* be a good option, there's nothing in the post that indicates that. Unless your monitor is displaying stuff I'm not seeing.
