Abstract: A system and method for reducing fuel consumption of an engine while operating a power take off. Whenever practical, the system and method will operate the engine with fewer than all cylinders when operating a power take off. Operating the engine with fewer than all cylinders will reduce fuel consumption and improve fuel economy.

Abstract: A door blocker includes a wireless transmitter coupled to a forced entry sensor. In response to sensing a stressed blocking element the transmitter emits an alarm indicator. At the same time, the blocking element continues to limit movement of the door relative to the frame to exclude an intruder.
