Yup
My remote start has a turbo timer feature. Works great on my psd.
You select the feature in settings, then when you apply parking brake and then shut off key, it will run the truck for desired time.

Or you can try something like this. It's a cheap knockoff apexi but should do the trick. The OBS trucks aren't fussy. As long as "the key stays on" it will keep running. This will do it.

Thanks! Who makes your remote start? I'm hoping I can find a reliable set up that is a complete package...

I got a package deal from eBay. Was remote start and doorlock add on kit (this truck was a base model so no power locks)
Cost me 100$ for everything.
I'd buy a brand name one though. I like the remote start but this nobrand kit has limited range.

Most remote starters will list its features. Look for diesel and look for turbo tuner or run timer. Then look to see about glow plug input.
