getting cold in michigan!
it is getting cold up here in michigan and it keeps taking longer for the diesel to warm up. 7 to 10 min. looking to add a remote starter. the car audio places around here are having glitches with the ones that they sell. any help with a good brand, or a good place to install one. also i have the xlt with power locks and wanted to have them hooked to the remote as well. thanks for looking.
ps i live in grand rapids mi.

I like the Ultra Start that I have installed.Its pricey though.It pages you if the alarm goes off,when the truck is running and when off,tells you when your doors are lock and unlocked.Theres more,just do a serach.

I have a Viper alarm/remote starter, 550 model and love it. Bought it locally and had friend install it. Reliable model so far, also has turbo timer built in. Exact model info is in my profile info.

There is alot of wiring,but if you have time and can keep your cool,you can do it.
