: How to disable a chevy?
dobsogj 01-02-2007, 05:36 PM I have been having practical joke wars with a co-worker. On Fords, if you hit the kick-panel real hard, it will trip the fuel pump cut-off, and disable the truck. Is there anything like that you can do to a chevy? It is a 99 C1500, 5.3. I have googled, and not found anything.

odin544 01-02-2007, 06:57 PM not sure how accessible it is on that truck but disconnecting the neutral safety switch if its an auto will leave it dead in the water.
okeydokey 01-02-2007, 07:25 PM you could pull the starter wire

Install a big ziptie on the driveline so it hits the exhaust when he drives.
this is my favorite, and it will scare the shit out of him when he pulls out. it makes a very weird sound. i vote for this one.
NICKC 01-03-2007, 12:38 PM I had a couple friends do some jokes on me over the years. I think the best was:
Took some scrap metal (smaller pieces) tied them to the frame back by the bumper then set them on the frame rails so I didn't see them, the first bump I hit at speed and they fell started making all kinds of noises. Scared the crap out of me.
Another friend did the zip ties on the driveline, except he wasn't bright and used white ones so they stood out like a sore thumb when I walked towards the truck. I played it up as though I didn't notice, just so he wouldn't feel to dumb then when we were around more people I told him the truth.
then on my Ranger a friend disconnected my coil pack (single plug) so I could turn the truck over but it wouldn't fire. had me scratchin my head for a good couple minutes. Not sure if the Chevy's have a coil pack or just a std coil but either way would work.

pull the TBC1 fuse or IGN1A fuse.
or the ECM fuse
dobsogj 01-03-2007, 09:49 PM Thanks! I was planning the zip tie on the DS. I think I will tape it up, so I comes loose going down the road.
Matt153 01-04-2007, 07:41 PM would the kick panel trick work on a 88 & 92 f150 and a 93 f350? if so which side (probly drivers)? iam gonna try the zip ties tommorrow on my friends. we jacked the rear end up on my buddies truck and put it on jack stands so the tires were only like an inch off the ground, we got a kick out of that

Fixed it.

Although I agree with the first quote here, this other one is pretty fawkin' funny!:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
I've seen the zipties on a driveshaft (was on a Lincoln Towncar), but we put little 5/8ths nuts on the end, so the sound was definite!!
reddman 01-04-2007, 10:03 PM where the shifter linkage hooks to the shifter arm on the trans is easily accessible and pops right off.
and the duct taped ford emblem is fawkin awesome!
dbricco 01-04-2007, 11:24 PM It took a little time but once I put a car horn under the seat of a friends Landcruiser and wired it to the starter. Hit the key and it honked. Actually got him twice. The first time he just ripped the wire off the starter but left all the parts there. Took 5 minutes to hook it back up that night.
He wired a windshield washer bottle to a blinker and ran a hose through the seat so when you turned left it pumped water on your butt.
Had another friend that took a model rocket igniter and put a needle on one side and an allgator clip on the other. Tied it to a smoke bomb fuse. Then grounded the alligator clip under his brothers dash. Pushed the needle through a random wire and left. At some point whatever circuit it was connected got used and lit the smoke bomb.
74k20 01-05-2007, 02:23 AM Best I've seen is jumping from the brake lights to the horn...best if its a stick and they don't hit the brakes till the end of the street...then they have to drive all the way around the block honking away...
the-bus-driver 01-05-2007, 11:22 AM put a couple of marbles in the center cap on his rim
LoS10 01-05-2007, 12:15 PM Dunno if all GM trucks are like this or not, but 94+ S10's are. If you disconnect the tail light ground, the fuel pump won't work:P
pbmang 01-05-2007, 01:37 PM The horn is awsome...I love that idea
1ton383 01-05-2007, 06:32 PM i had a guy get a small chain and but a small cut of a piece of 2 inch pipe on it and placeed it on my ball hitch just barly touching the ground and when i took off it sounded like my rear end was falling apart
Matt153 01-06-2007, 01:29 PM iam gonna tie up a deer skull underneath my friends s10 and do what nick was talking about. and were are them floor vents intake located at under a 93 s10? because i want to stuf a rat or something in there
supervert 01-07-2007, 12:02 AM my friend put a bag of some fresh steaming dog shit under his friends seat on a 110 deg day(windows up) he found it right when he got in, it stunk for over a week:(
1ton383 01-08-2007, 12:58 PM hey what kind of ford do you drive that you can shut the feul off of it what year is it modle ect
cjfiveowner 01-08-2007, 08:25 PM 1. Remove all the valve stems frome the tires, once all the air is out.... replace the stems! (this will really scare him if he runs big meats):laughing:
2. How to get someone to owe you LUNCH...cut the fan belt half way or three quarters of the way through. this way it will ether break while idiling or shortly after. then once broken act surprized. then offer a ride to the autoparts store. furthermore offer him the tools to replace the belt. hopefully then the poor SOB will ask you what he can do to repay you. simply answer by saying buy me lunch tommorow and we will call it even!:smokin:
3. place axcel grease under the door handle!:flipoff2:
4. place sticky weights (used on wheels) on the driveshaft to through the balance off.
5. na fawk number 4.... remove the driveshaft in its entiry. (just remeber to chalk the wheels!)
Any of the above is more that willing to help you pist someone off! you should just hope he dosen't reconize your user name and realize you are talking bout him... talk about a backfire!! :mad3: :mad3:
GMCTruxrule 01-09-2007, 11:05 PM Lets see....
1. Cut the brakelines
2. Unscrew the oil pan plug almost all the way except for the last 1/2 a turn and while he drives, vibration will loosten it and he looses all his oil.
3. Piss in his gas tank.
4. Remove driveshaft.
5. Remove distributor cap (if applicable) and use a graphite pencil to trace a couple of lines from contact to contact. Backfire like a motherfucker.
6. Rewire brakelights to starter switch so that the starter always engages the flywheel while the engine is running and makes a horrible racket.
7. Add a couple bottles of motor oil to his gas tank. Make him smoke and foul his plugs.
8. Jack up car and remove all wheels and set wheels under car and lower car onto them.
9. Hook a chain from a light post or a tree to his rear axle.
10. Remove his tie rod or disconnect his steering shaft from the steering box.
11. Stick dog shit in his key locks.
12. Silicone his windshield wipers to the windshield.
13. Cross 3 or 4 plug wires.
14. Weld the bottom edge of his doors shut.
15. I don't condone or recommend doing any of the above.
Just some ideas.:flipoff2:
dimichele 01-24-2007, 10:17 PM rig it so he can't roll down his windows or open his doors from the inside
DURAtotheMAX 01-25-2007, 08:57 AM 6. Rewire brakelights to starter switch so that the starter always engages the flywheel while the engine is running and makes a horrible racket.
wont work, they have a starter lockout when the engines running :flipoff2:
Snowbird13 01-25-2007, 09:36 AM wont work, they have a starter lockout when the engines running :flipoff2:
Older ones don't.
DURAtotheMAX 01-26-2007, 12:08 PM Older ones don't.
IIRC 99+ ones do
PrerunnerRob 01-26-2007, 05:51 PM I had a battle with a co-worker a few years ago that ended with him leaving the truck at the shop on a concrete floor. I roto-hammered a hole in the floor, quick dry epoxied in a threaded anchor with some chain slung over his axle right behind the tire, took the end of the chainand bolted it back to the floor. I welded the bolt to the chain and anchor, screwed his tool box shut with about 20 self tapping screws, and then left a phillips screwdriver on his front seat of his truck in the shop. :flipoff2:
roughneckrig9 01-26-2007, 08:56 PM Put several beads of silicone in the door jam. Itll make the door almost impossible to open from the outside. A few chuck Norris kicks from the inside itll open up fine.
I ended a two year prank war with this one.
roughneckrig9 01-26-2007, 08:58 PM Almost forgot......Dead rattle snake in the floorboard works quite nice also.
sled_dog 01-26-2007, 09:45 PM hey what kind of ford do you drive that you can shut the feul off of it what year is it modle ect
almost all fords for many many years now have had "Inertia Switch"es. Strong shock to the vehicle kills power to the fuel pump. In case of an accident the fuel pump dies so it doesn't dump the tank contents out or feed a fire.
Note, first thing to check when a Ford comes in with a no start, does it crank? If it does, check the Inertia Switch second. Helped a jackass push a Ranger into the shop once, get it in, someone jokes "did you check the inertia switch?".... fired right up...
