What fuse to pull to disable my truck?

I'm headed out on a 3-week long road trip. With all the stories of how easy it is for thieves to rip these rigs off, I'm thinking that pulling some fuse that will disable the truck might be the best deterrent. I'll be over-nighting mainly at motels/hotels and hope to park where the most light is. I can't defend someone trying to haul off the catalytics, but maybe I can disable the ignition or something to that effect?

Any thoughts on that?

I'd be looking for a fuel pump fuse or relay in the box (haven't looked to see if it exists). Or since you have the Hemi the ignition coils are easy to reach and unplug - truck won't run without spark.

Lol most thiefs now are just hooking to it poping it in neutral and towing it away so just make sure you have good insurance and leave the truck alone.

If you are that paranoid you could also put a starter interrupting switch either a momentary one or a toggle switch out of sight

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm not going to stress over it and will deal with whatever happens if anything. I never worried about this crap before, so I'll just try and keep that same frame of mind. It is insured. I'm on the 3rd day of travel and seeing some beautiful country. Went thru Montana today and down to Buffalo WY. Blue skies all the way.
