Remote Start

Does anybody have a remote start for there truck. I saw one online on sale for a pretty good deal and was wondering if anybody else had one and if it worked good. It says it works on diesels and that it just has a delay for the glow plugs. Thank for the responses to come.
Ben

I got a factory Ford unit that was NOS. It was a PITA to install, but otherwise it's awesome

I put one in my truck. Works well.
If you plan on doing it yourself then just make sure you get one that has the input for the ford wait to start, or like mine, a time delay.
Directions are online here somewhere.

I got an Alarm/Remote start for mine, paid for itself several time over.

Check out Python, Viper, and a few others under the DEI umbrella. They all work great and are trouble free....
