PSD Remote Starter Catch 22

I'm looking in to getting a remote starter for my '01 F350 7.3 PSD. Gas is no big deal, it is the Diesel that I'm worried about.

Any comments/suggestions???

I'd like to install it myself, BUT I gotta do it in the driveway. Catch is when it is warm enough to install it is when i don't need it and the other way around.

I'm looking at the Bulldog Model 621 with the wiring harness. Anybody use it/install it?

What pitfalls did you run in to???

All things bulldog are a mixture of bull s*** and dog s***.

Spend 82¢ more and buy a real one.
I'd suggest the masstart2001
RS and KE
has diesel glow plug activation
progrannable run times
and many other features.
also no tach signal is needed.
