Will I need to use a relay? My factory disarm wire is only a 300mA ground for 1.5 seconds before start and the unlocking sequence.

Also. why do I need to use a diode? I just like to know why

You only need to use a diode if you do not have a dedicated disarm wire but since you do, it'll just be a straight connection. You won't need a relay, 300mA is plenty of current to deactivate the alarm. It's just tripping a transistor at worst.

Also, when I hooked up my remote start unit the vilot wire gets hooked up to the accessery wire on the pickup. After I was done and the pickup started and ran I realized that the blower motor didn't work. My wireing diagram said there was a HVAC wire so I tapped it into my ignition 2 wire from the remote start unit because the ignition 2 wire on the pickup was just a small (16 gauge?) wire and the ignition 2 wire on the remote starter was a big(12 gauge?) wire thinking that it should cary the load. Should I have hooked up the HVAC wire on the pickup to the accessery wire of the remote starter or should it be OK the way it is?

It'll be fine the way it is as long as you also have the white (small) ignition wire connected. It powers up the transmission computer. If it is not connected, it can cause shifting problems and transmission damage. If it's not connected, use your ignition 2 output for this wire and use your accessory output for the orange HVAC wire. Your truck's accessory circuit is not required for remote starting/HVAC. Essentially, it powers your radio and wipers. This should get you up and running like a champ. hope this helps.

Ok, here we go again. I hooked up the pulsed grounds for disarming the facotory security system and the door trigger for the radio to quite when I turn off the pickup with the remote starter but now if I lock my doors with the door switch ( getting out of the pickup and closeing the door) I have to push my unlock button twice inorder for the doors to unlock. If I lock my doors with the remote and then push unlock it unlocks the doors on the first push.

Do I need to use diodes anyway?
