Tuffy you can leave it unlocked if you choose, like taking it to the dealer or working on the engine. The Mopar one you would have to kill the engine unless you carry your spare key to quickly check something in the engine bay if you need it running. Also the the Tuffy one is half the price.

Disagree. I actually think the mopar one is not as good as the Tuffy one. Tuffy you can leave it unlocked if you choose, like taking it to the dealer or working on the engine.

While i am doing the 5.3 upgrade i have had to put a block plate over the latch hole to prevent the hood from re locking so i can keep key in ignition for testing circuits. Im still glad i have it. Damn thieves.
Given enough time, any of the hood locks can be defeated. They just buy u more time and effort on the thieves part. It "encourages" them to find an easier target. Thats it. If they want what u got bad enough, after enough time and damage they will get it. I want them to work for it!

Dust cover from tuffy is $7. My air compressor is in my engine bay, I wouldn't want to run it without the engine running (kill my battery) to air up my tires. I also have the under the seat drawers, so I have 3 tuffy products all keyed a like.

Not a big issue for me to cut the engine and pop the hood then run the engine again. I mean I know the country has an obesity / diabetic issue with all that GMO franken-food that gets dished out on a daily but it's not like your having to walk a mile from the front of your rig to your steering column.
Couldn't agree more. People act like you can't take the key out of the lock until the hood is closed. And even if that was an issue, I have a remote start on my key.
