I just had a viper 5900 system installed. So far so good. It has a turbo timer as well which is nice. It's rather pricey though. If you just want the start feature I would go OEM for sure.

I put in the same unit about two years ago and it works great. Like you said the turbo timer is nice especially after pulling a heavy load you can just park the truck and set the remote and it cools down then shuts off.

viper makes some good ones. i have the viper 791XV and it has a few cool capabilities like Remote Start, Turbo Timer, and Alarm w/ Pager. also with a bit writer you can custom program turbo timer settings and glow plug heating wait which is important for diesels.

if your looking for just the Remote Starter i agree with Strokin83 and to just go with the FORD OEM. le$$ money

Adambomb.... how do you get ahold of a bit writer?

I'm sorry... I realized that I've stolen this thread and I don't see how to delete this post. Here's a link to my own thread.
