I just had one installed by my local car stereo/alarm guy, they can get pretty involved , more so with the diesel. if you have one put in make sure they solder all connections, dont let them use t-taps, over time they will loosen up and cause problems. Mine also has a nice tubo timer feature. It cost 200 installed , i think the unit itself cost around 75-100.

Over 3 years ago now a Viper 550 ESP was installed in the 99 F250 PSD. It's got the remote start and alarm and keyless entry and the option to open the windows via keypad.
It was about $400 installed at Circuit City and the truck fires when the WTS light goes off. My wife want's one in the Excursion now.

i got the bulldog one w/o the alarm..already had one but the install took almost 6 months cause the diagram was wrong,got no support on the phone so had to go through process of elimination and a lot of guessing with a test light...but now that i finally got it to do what it was upposed to do its fantastic...just dont trust the wiring diagram and dont depend on the customer support from bulldog
