My new 2008 F-250 came with no security system whatsoever (no chip key, no keyless entry). I need to install an aftermarket security system (preferably with remote door unlock, and engine immobilizer). Can anyone recommend a brand and model of alarm that interfaces well with the systems in a Diesel Super Duty please? Thank you.

 

Viper 5901, has the delay start for the glow plug warmup, it has a turbo cool-down setting, immobilizer, etc. and best of all a 1 mile range on the remote.

 

You used the words "aftermarket alarm" and "works well" in the same sentence....I'm still laughing here.

I second the Viper. I've had it for over a year with no problems. I recommend adding the remote start, sure comes in handy.

 

I too have the viper with the remote start on my 6.0l diesel going on 3 years and never even a glitch. Works great.

 

Put another one down for the viper alarm. As to the chip keys, I don't think superduties ever came with the PAT keys. I could be wrong, but I don't think they did.

 

The Harley Davidson SD trucks did,and possibly the King Ranch SD trucks.

King Ranch didn't that much I do know. HD ones maybe.

 

Thanks for the help folks. I'm going to get the Viper this week. Appreciate all the input.

 

Viper. Works great. Remote start is awesome.

 

I guess I am the odd ball here. I have a ravelco alarm on mine.

 

Your not the oddball, I believe they make viper.

 

double post for some reason

 

PATS was not available in the Super Duty from 99-07 (however it was available in the Excursion). Ford has offered it in the 08-09 trucks though.


As far as the OP question, I have the Autopage RS1000 and I am very happy with it.

 

I figured they didn't(atleast during my truck's model years). I knew my mom's explorer and expedition had them, but I was fairly sure the truck's didn't have them, til now that is).
