Do I have remote start installed?

Hey FTE,
Traded in my 05 250 and got an 08 F350. It only came with a key, no Fob and I think it might have remote start already installed because when I go to turn the ignition, I can let it go and it will start and turn the engine over on its own. Do all '08's have this? Or is it equipped with remote start? I wanted to know because I noticed regular Fobs on sale at amazon for $10. But I would rather just buy the remote start one, if it has it already installed. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

From "whats new for 2008 F series"

"Diesel One Touch Start
• Diesel one touch start is included for all diesel
powered trucks.
• Enables faster starts with less effort.
• Move key to start position and release. Engine
starts without need to hold key in the start position."

Doesn't mean you have remote start.. sorry...

Do you have a key pad on exterior of driver's door; if so, you should be good to get the wireless key fobs. Some 04 were wired but in 04 they went to wireless; which an 08 would have. So if you have the key pad you are ready for FOB.
