Does anyone use a remote start for thier diesels? Sometime before winter, I want to get one... and was wondering how friendly are they to diesels, and if they let the glow plugs do thier thing before starting up.
Thanks!

And they do have delay for glow plugs.

Most of them have some sort of timer to wait for the glow pulgs to warm up. I have mine set to 10 seconds and it works pretty good for the most part. Sometimes it has to try a couple times when it is cold though.
It's too bad you don't have a coffee pot in there, lol

I wondered how you would time it, makes sense about that monitor wire to the 'wait to start' light.
Excellent, I'm gonna put one of these on my Christmas list..
Thanks guys!

I have a Viper remote start and alarm. Love it! It can be hooked up to the wait to start light or hooked to a timer. They can be used for auto or manual tranny, you have to get right model for your tranny. Viper is pretty expensive. Crimestopper makes a nice one for alot less money. You can find them on ebay. I can also roll up the windows with the remote. Really nice to be able to roll up windows,start truck and turn on air without having to go outside. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]

Roll up windows??? Kewl! Can you really remotely start the A/C? First it is the chips that improve performance, give you power AND save you on fuel.... now its this. Wow... technology is awesome!

You have to have the A/C turned on when you get out of the truck for it to be turned on remotely. You can't actually remotely control the A/C or heat. Just make sure it is where you want it when you get out of the truck.
I had one put in by Circiut City last Fall. It's a Rattler. They had trouble wiring it to the Wait to start light so they put in a delay timer. I like the timer, it can be set from 5 seconds to about 60 seconds for the GPs. They did not wire the AC correct so I have to take it back to be corrected. I hate letting other people work on my truck.
