Disconnecting my Tacoma battery for about a week while on vacation. Would it hurt in anyway?

I'm worried my truck could get stolen. Figured it would help as a deterrent.

Not sure if it would have any effect on the truck in a bad way.

What say you?

 

No, won't affect a thing.

 

Shouldn’t be an problem.

May as well take the wheels off and leave it on blocks.

 

No problemo

 

Where the hell do you live that your truck being stolen is a worry?

 

It won't hurt, but may I propose either

A) putting it in the garage

Or

B) putting it in covered parking at the Airport.

 

Downtown Atlanta ....

 

May I suggest moving to another city? Hell, another state even lol

 

Are you saying goodbye to your cat?

 

Not sure about another states , but ATL has some nice suburbs like East Cobb, Alpharetta , etc. I would not leave my truck downtown ATL

 

I was in Atlanta Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. I understand now.

Id rub shit all over the truck. Human, dog, whatever you can get your hands on.

 

About 17 years ago I somehow got a Marriott two night "free stay" in downtown Atlanta. The hotel was nice, but good grief I saw the most weird stuff while riding the elevators and was glad to get the hell out of that town. And to think I had a fairly new vehicle out in the parking lot.

 

Just negative terminal would suffice

 

ive left mine with my 4 year old battery for 2 months. started right up. ive got a portable jump starter just in case

 

I've always wondered if the computer resets like the whole transmission learning how you drive thing. I know I used to do that to reset check engine lights before I had a tool.

 

If you are worried about your truck ever being stolen it is very easy to put a switch on the fuel pump relay wire under the dash. You can relocate the switch easily with some spare wire also. less than $10 easy kill switch mod for peace of mind.

 

lowest blocks possible so no one can crawl beneath and snatch the cat !!

 

I’d probably leave the battery connected so the alarm would go off if someone tried to steal it.
Pulling a few select relays or fuses from under the hood is probably a better way to prevent it being stolen IMO.....

 

Just out of curiosity. How do those things stand up to a battery powered mini grinder with a zip cut wheel?
