Hey guys, with cold weather around the corner I'm wanting a good unit with out breaking the bank and am wondering what you guys are using.

I installed the Viper 5906 on mine.

Lots of good ones out. I received the Viper for a Xmas gift.

I really like the remote start especially when I'm in elk camp and it's really cold out and I cant start the truck and not even get out of bed.

I heard Clifford is really good, so I called car toys and they said their base unit is $250 installed. That is only a one way unit. Do I need a two way? How are they to install? I've done all the work on my truck so I'm fairly competent.
