Ok looking to put a remote starter on my 02 F250, ? is does any one have any sugestions on which one to go with or even if I can use one on the Diesel with out tomany problems?????????

 

When I bought my truck it had a Viper installed in it. It has worked very well. My Grandkids still think my truck starts up when it see's me!

thats what I am looking at thanks

 

One of the best things I did.
Don't cheap out though. Do it right the first time. Get the one with all the features and the heavy duty relays.

Here is the page you will need as well.
Take your time and print off the diagram.
There were a few things that were off a little on mine but you will figure it out. Ask questions and hopefully I'll see them to answer you.

When I bought my truck with one in it,never used it. How can I tell what brand I have ?

 

crawl under the dash and look, lol.
Maybe your remote will have it, if you dont have a remote then go to a place that installs them and ask them to order you one. All they need is the serial and fcc id from the back of the unit. they will also be able to tell you what brand it is im sure if its not plainly labled on there.

 

I have a Viper alarm/remote start and it is great. Check out www dot viper dot com, or www dot clifford dot com or www dot python dot com. They are all manufactured by directed electronics and pretty much all have the same features, good stuff!

 

Ok so went with teh Viper 5901 going to shoot to get it installed this weekend keeping fingers crossed that is works out for me

 

You need to have a installer who knows what they are doing with a diesel. If they don't understand how the diesels work in terms of starting, you might run into problems...

My $.02

 

Thats the one I have and the installer didnt have any problem hooking it up. The delay for the start allowing the glow plugs to warm up works off of a timer and not the wait to start light, so he said it was a pretty easy install

 

I don't have remote start for my truck yet,but I think I would ask and see how hard it would be to change the timer.Maybe set it to wait a little longer in the cold season,and not have as much delay in the warmer season.Just my.02 worth of course.

 

I figured that I would just go with like a 6 to 8 second delay that way I would be safe here in central texas it dont get that cold. The that I have doing the work does it for a living (dating my neice) so I get it done cheap and at the house.

 

I have an Avital 4113 Avital - Product Start System&id=5005

and it is great. Real simple, real basic one button remote. Never had any issues.
