Remote Start

Is there any remote start system for a diesel? It would have to delay for the glow plugs to heat up before it fires.

I know just about anything from DEi either has the functions already on it or offer it as a add-on. Same thing goes for Code Alarm (Audiovox) and Ungo (Clarion).

Yea. Not sure about other brands but I would assume they do. DEI has a wire that would need to be hooked up called a 'wait to start' wire for just this reason. Also, you may need another box which is called a 'tach signal generator'. When I was an installer, not very many diesels came in, but the one I did needed that 'tach signal generator' to get it to work properly. Not sure if it is for all.

I'm guessing you are thinking of the Viper 5900SST. I just installed the same model in my 2004 6.0L.

To the OP, what truck are we talking about? I know the 6.0L & 6.4L super duties and maybe a few of the 7.3L have a tach wire that is ready to use just under the dash. It's installed so that a PTO may be installed in the future.

Last month I installed the factory remote start with the security system on my 06 diesel. The module with Tack inverter cost me $260.00 and took about 8 hours to install. It has a diesel timer built in I got it from http://www.powerstrokeshop.com/ and downloaded the instructions from http://www.gemsen.com/Ford/ Hope this helps
