Im no pro now but have installed many. Sure sounds like a tach wire or voltage sensing wire issue. Also, the parking lights not working at all with the alarm either never connected, broken wire, or if fused is a toasted fuse. I think if you can get the parking lights hooked back up it will shed light on the other issue. You should then be able to count the flashes on the parking lights for the error on why its shutting it down. That's weird that its not posting an error code for shutdown on the LCD remote. Let us know what it looks like.

You know all you had to do was tell me the truck was bad and followed me back to the dealer and bought it yourself. LOL

Just guessing, go to their web site and look at the manual for your specific model. Might be a run time program issue, it has all the requirements met to start...so I would look at that. Hard telling how long the unit has been installed and where the settings are at. Puzzles me a programmable run time of 5 seconds would be available. I have the Astro-Start so I know you can fudge settings with a remote in your pocket....
Go do some reading....

Great to hear, I just threw out ideas from my experiences with the remote start I have. Confused me the truck would attempt to start 3 times though, so that left me wondering if you had a signal.
Anyhow, good to know you are up and running with the auto start.
