I took my truck into the dealer last winter because I thought the outside
weather strip (squeegee at the base of the window opening) was sticking to
the glass. Turns out, some schumck tried to slim-jim my truck. (The
mechanic showed me the crease in the rubber, and duplicated the mark with his
slim-jim.) The explanation I got (as to why my truck didn't get lifted) was
that Chrysler reoriented the lock mechanism in '94 in such a way that
slim-jimming became more difficult. Regardless, I have since bought a
kill-switch and "The Club" and I plan on getting a heavy duty alarm system
(maybe LoJack....anybody have any experience with it?)
