You ain't Gunna have no fun !
I let the dealer do it ,, Viper or DEI stuff requires a dealer install for warranty anyway
It took the 2 days to do it ,, then I jump back in and add all the cool stuff like proximity sensors interior ear pain siren , glass break , tie a button to open my toolbox etc

Well 12volt.com may be your Friend if u get stuck
I build all the same stuff you listed but the install for me was 1$ and then when I swapped trucks they charged me 60$ ,, they lost their **** ''if you are doing the remote start you better check it all out before you jump in and make sure you have all the required modules if it's a gas motor it will be easier
good luck brutha

I also have a '06 6.0 King Ranch....you don't mind just taking pictures of all your connections right? jk
I do appreciate the advice. Right now I am labeling all the wires before hand with the proper wires in the wiring diagrams i have found so far. Trying to look for the all questions i'll run into before i start.
If I am successful, then i have a second remote start kit for the wife's '05 escape.

Well I had to grab a dei programmer and tweak all the internal settings to get mine dialed in ,, there are options on anti grind , wait to start , tach or other inputs for run verification and if you mess up you may activate the glow plugs all the time and burn them out in short order ,, fun stuff like that lol http://sector29.com/PRODUCT_PAGES/37/37-DEI998T/

How this is cranking that long
I had a Viper 5901 professionally installed a few months back. Every time the engine is cold it will try to start, fail, then try again and succeed.
By hand on a cold start it has never failed.
The glow plug delay is not the issue as I've watched it and they are ready to go every time. Someone said something about a tach module to fix this, but I'm not sure of the specifics.
Video on it:

I had mine adjusted last year by the shop that installed mine. They did not charge me either.

hmmm
This is the part I am confused about. I have the manual
http://www.directeddealers.com/manua...2008_08web.pdf
and the crank settings are not until the third menu (Menu 3-3). From there I do not see any bitwriter icon next to the crank time indicating that you can get more of an adjustment. Do all of your guys trucks Currently have the ability to crank more then 6 seconds? Is there a secret menu in the bitwriter they don't tell you about?

I don't remeber but 6 seconds should be plenty or too much and I think it has a retry also But I don't recall
I would have to hook it up and look
ok it looks like the time is an option in the Alarm module itself and I have a different unit

my ford has like 3 ford specific modules and My GMC this came out of had a pile also and it was a gasser

actually the longest option in the manual link you provided is 4 sec same as my 7901 yours cranked for 10 in the video
sit in it next time you try and actually verify the Glowplug light is comming on
that looks like a no GP start ??
