Yeah, I have heard that too, and no clue why they would target the 03.. Or if there is any kind of cuensidence.. I have a viper alarm system on my truck, great alarm, remote start is the best thing ever invented. In the winter, I turn on my heater before I go to bed, so in the morning I turn on the truck just before I leave, and the Heater is already nice and warm. And in the summer, I crank on the AC, it's a beautiful thing.

Because everyone is tired of trying to rip off a chevy or ford just to have it break down during the police chase?

Seriously, the handles are easy to bypass with a screw driver and most of the keys are not electronically encoded. If you have a black key, it is the plain key. The gray ones are the Sentry key that are elecgtronically encoded and harder to bypass.

03's were the last model year that didn't have the transponder keys.
Basically, they had all the frills/bling/whatever-the-theives-wanted without the hassle of having the truck die 300' from where they hot-wired it.
