Did you install it yourself? The security bypass module can cause problems like you're having. Need to have more info...

No I did not install it,I bought the truck in las vegas and the owner said it was professionally installed.I read a thread on here about a month ago and lost it, an individual was talking about his remote start had the wire was ran to the alternator instead of the coil or something like that. Obivously I dont know anything about wiring.

Is it a Ford system? Does it crank and not start or do nothing at all?

No,it is not a ford system it's a audiovox.When truck is cold the glow plugs warm for about 10 to 15 seconds then system shuts down and resets itself,keeps doing that until I push the little green buttom twice to kill system.Also if the alarm is set it will activate alarm. thanks.
