Remote Start

The PO installed a remote start in this 2005 F250 I just bought. It sure is nice to be able to start the truck from the living room when it is -3 out (windchill of -20...), and then step into a nice, warm truck!

Wish I had one. I can imagine my first morning with it...

Cold morning. Im groggy. And Tired. I hit the remote start I rigged up and I hear the truck hit the side of the house. Crap, I forgot to take it out of gear. Now I know why they dont fit them on manuals.

Yup, Ill pass.

You just have to remember not to point it at the house when you park.
