Remote Start - Starter Anti-Grind??
Hey guys,
My wife bought me a remote start for the 7.3 for Christmas.
Some of you may know, this is my first big truck (diesel), and I have been wanting to know for a while now if the starter has an Anti-Grind feature on it.
In other words...
The remote start that my wife has on her 06' Ford Escape has the start command length set higher than normal (we're talking mili-seconds) to compensate for the cold mornings. It can safety keep sending the command for the starter to start even after the car has started because her car has an Anti-Grind feature. Once the car is RUNNING, the start can not be ran again.
I do not really want to test this with the diesel.
Hence....
Why I am here. So, if I am explaining this clearly, does an 01 F250 have an Anti-Grind feature built-in?
If not, how else does a remote start adjust for a needed longer crank time.
i.e. - Christmas present was the Viper 5704

No the 7.3 does not have an anti grind feature, but if installed properly u shouldn't have to worry about it. A properly installed autostarter will monitor the RPM's through a tach signal & will only crank the starter until it senses the engine is fully running on all cylinders.

I bought one of the cheapest remote starters in eBay and it works great.
There will be a bunch of settings you need to set on the starter. One will be diesel and one will be the wait to start, and possibly tach signal phase (I think)
My remote starter will wait a pre determined time before trying to start the truck. I didn't mess with the relay and programming of the trucks wait to start light, I just set the wait time because even after the wts light is out, the glow plugs are still on.
If the truck is running and I push the start button again, the truck shuts off.
The anti grind I'm thinking of is the tach signal. Some remote starters don't need a tach signal and will guess if the vehicle is running by the voltage input (12 not running, 13.5+ is running)
Just read the instructions and see if its compatible with the ford diesel.
There are a few great writeups you should search for.
If my cheapo remote starter works, I'm sure yours will.
