I'm sure I don't need or want this but I'm curious how it works:

I have that, and it how it works is it works great! Just push the button in and the likkle black shoe rubs up against the flywheel and the engine kills! Really simple and very convinient.

Pictures of it installed? Durability?

now being a newb and not know much about these yet, but when my chrystal **** the bed last week my engine went right back to idle so is this necessary????

The subject of this thread is not a failsafe, it's an engine stop method. Two entirely different things.
And yes, you should get a failsafe, you got very lucky that your radio went to idle. It could just as easily have went to full throttle and your question would have been far different then.

Opps, I was looking for some written info in there as well, but I missed the picture

Thanks. That thing looks pretty niffty, I think I may have to pick up a couple for my savages, since I have read that plugging the exhaust isn't the best way to do so and I don't like pinching the fuel line since it makes the truck run lean.

booooooooooooo! Just read that the engine stop won't fit on the XL. []

That makes sense, since the XL engine plate is a lot thicker, and ThunderbirdJunkie is positive that it could be shaved to work perfectly fine.

Sidenote: ThunderbirdJunkie does not recall his truck ever being that clean...lol

Can the button be hit during rollovers or does the fuel tank save ya there? I like that.

Nope, does not hit

At least it never has on ThunderbirdJunkie's truck.
