I am going to have installed an alarm with remote start function. Do a lot of places that install alarms know about the tach converter? or is it just something on the 6.0?
Thanks

I just bought a canopy, so my mad money is spent for now. But I'm looking out the office window looking at the rain flowing sideways! I WANT REMOTE START!
Wife might not agree that I "need" remote start.I'll have to put on my salesman hat.
I did talk to Ford about this some time ago. They won't install remote start on a ZF6 equipped truck. But a local aftermarket guy will, with one caviat. There's a step to complete when exiting the truck, to arm it. That way the driver puts the transmission in neutral, and there's an override for the clutch pedal switch.
