The Good.
Found a deal on e-bay and bought it. (Clifford 330.3x alarm system).
The Bad.
1) No money to have it installed.
2) DI Electronics customer support
Solution? D.I.Y
Reference material is
https://www.alertautomotive.com/diagrams/diagrams.aspsite
Responder LC guide (see image below)
Here is where I am at.
H1/1 not connected
H1/2 Constant power to 330.3x H1/2 via the pink/black wire at ignition harness.
H1/3 RED / wht connected to red on siren
H1/4 Need Help!
H1/5 Grounded
H1/6 Need Help!
H1/7 Won't be used (Truck)
H1/8 Green Need Help!
H1/9 Blk/Wht Need Help!
H1/10Wht/Blu Need Help!
H1/11White Need Help!
H1/12Orange Need Help!

H2 Door lock harness
Somehow I have the door lock system working perfectly via the
330 and 820 ohm resistors on the WHITE/ green wire in drivers kick panel.No issues at all here. I think

H3/1 ORANGE / Blk Need Help!
H3/2 Wht/Blk Need Help!
H3/3 Violet/Blk Need Help!
H3/4 LightGrn/Black Need Help!
H3/5 Yellow Need Help!
H3/6 Brown Need Help!
H3/7 Grey Need Help!
I think I have to isolate the 4 door trigger wires via 1N4001 diodes but then what? posted_image

Here is a link to Bulldog Security : https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp

Look up your truck.  They list the wires and provide pictures.  Just remember to verify all the wires with a Digital Multi Meter.

Does your truck have a Black or Gray ignition key?  Gray key needs a bypass module.

Black key and no factory alarm system installed. I noticed some missing info like resisters on lock and unlock on bulldogs website.

Do I need to connect the yellow wire to ignition on H3/5? Thanks

Do I connect the 4 diodes to the door trigger positive H1/6 or H1/8 negative?

Are you sure you looked up the right vehicle?  Here is the one-wire lock info :
https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp   Your Clifford
system has on-board relays, so follow the Type H diagram ( similar to Directed
451M module Type H wiring ).

Yes, the H3/5 Yellow wire would go to the  IGNITION 1  BLUE (+) 16 Gauge wire  @ IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

Great links. Thanks I'll get busy tomorrow with my mess. I used to install avionics in light aircraft years ago and was no big deal. I guess its due to great tech data. This automotive thing is so different. Thanks again

Me again,
I am getting flaky parking light action when grounding the VIOLET / YELLOW wire through the 320ohm resister. Before connecting it to the brain I tried manually touching it on and off to ground. Its like its on a timer or something.
I am almost tempted to run a wire to the relay under the hood and connect it to the positive output on brain. Thoughts?

Here is some more info from Ready Remote :
Parking lights require a negative trigger thru a 330 or 1.4K ohm resistor. There is a rest resistance on the wire, so
MUST use a relay to isolate away from the switch
.

You could try a 1.4K ohm resistor or better yet, do it with a relay and switch isolation.  Use a 30/40 amp SPDT relay.
Relay Pin 85 to chassis ground
Relay Pin 86 to Clifford H1/11 w/Clifford set to (+) Parking Light output
Relay Pin 87a to Ram Purple / YELLOW Parking Light MUX      cut wire - switch side
Relay Pin 30 to Ram Purple / YELLOW Parking Light MUX        cut wire - vehicle side
Relay pin 87 thru correct resistor ( 330 or 1.4K ohm ) to chassis ground

Almost forgot, IHOH, please add a 1N4007 diode across relay pins 85 & 86 with the band towards Pin 86.

I have had some trouble ( it was a 2006 Ram ) that didn't work well with the suggested resistor value...

Okay then, I guess I will head out again and pick up a single pole double throw relay and 1N4007 diode from radio shack. You mentioned having problems with a 2006 did you end up using a 330 or 1400 ohm resistor or something else. Thanks again Kreg

Here is a link to a Pictorial on that 2006 Ram :  https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=130085&tpn=1&PN=1
The caption for the next to last picture gives the details on the Parking Light resistor.

5k Pot thats a great idea to find resistance. Wish known value would work but oh well. Is the 1N4007 across 85 and 86 to clip coil spikes?

Yes the correct vehicle was selected 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 4dr. and Bulldogs diagram shows isolation diodes for all 4 doors. This diagram applies to my vehicle right?

Yes on the relay coil quenching diode.  Don't want the flashing parking light  relay to generate a jolt back to the R/S brain and kill it.

Yes.  While it is a generic diagram, it is applicable to your truck.  Just locate the correct wires and connect to all four trigger wires giving the R/S a single door trigger input.

The diodes prevent ( isolate ) one door's open signal from feeding back to the other doors and making the truck think all four doors are open.

Have everything hooked up now. Think its working perfectly. I'll let you know. How much do I owe you?
