Remote start!!!

[chadschoon]

Have any of you put a remote start on a diesle truck? I have an 04 ford. How would they work with the glow plug? Is there a delay on the remote start? Or is this just not possible?

I just use my wife...... :greg:

iT IS possible. Dart has one on his cummins. There is a delay for the plugs. How it works is beyond me though

It requires a timed relay. My truck has one. They are not on the easy side of installs. I would call Ryan if you in SLC and have Car Concepts do it. Money well spent.

He did the Libby (crd) for us. Money very well spent on ANY newer vehicle!!!!

I would LOVE one of those. Is an '01 considered a newer vehicle?

You can used a timed relay or on a good remote start you can tag the 'wait to start' light and use that. Thats probably the best.

You'll need a bypass for the ford factory passlock system.

You could always just plug it in too

Even with plugging it in, you'll still have a bit of a wait with Fords when it's cold out.

plug it in? how does that remote start it?

plugging it in in the winter is deffinately a good idea.

Chad, if you're not pretty comfortable with wiring things, I would probably go talk to Ryan Goeller (ryslc) at Car Concepts and have him do it. Those newer vehicles...especially diesels...are not necessarily easy to install remote starts into.

Makes it start like it's July.... so you don't need a delay. I didn't say it was better, just that it would work.

Fords rule, or something
