On one of my previous trucks (GMC) that was stolen twice. Yup twice, I crawled underneath and found the wires going to the fuel pump. I figured out the pump drive wire and cut it and tried to start the truck. The truck did not start and didn't throw any codes. I figured if it threw a code I would just connect it back up. I went to the store and bought a open/close switch and some wire and hooked up a kill switch. Probably will work on your trucks. Just make sure you cut the pump drive wire not the sensor wire. Depending on the year of your trucks, the wiring diagrams (color code) are available here on the DIY section.
