Hi guys, does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2004 Ford F350 Superduty for installing an alarm/remote start?  Also does anyone know which bypass module I would need?  Dei 555f or 555U?  If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it.   Thanks guys.

Hope this helps,

I have a 2004 F-250 Superduty, I don't need the bypass module beacause there is no chip in the system, you can start the truck with a $1 copy of the key.

Also, you may need a pulse timer relay if it is diesel

Hope this is what you need.

I have a 2004 F-250 Superduty, I do not need a bypass cause there is no chip in the key. You can start vehicle with a plain $1 copy of the key. So there is no bypass.

Also if your truck is diesel, you will probaly need a pulse timer relay. Instead of using wait to start light.

There is no usable tach connection on the 03, and 04 trucks. These trucks will not work in tachless mode either. I had to use a unit that had starter timer mode in order to get the R.S unit working. I set the time to 1.2 seconds and it worked like a charm. I have done several of these trucks like this and have not had them come back. Good luck with the install.

Ok thanks guys, time for doing a little metering now.  I do believe I do need a bypass though, this particular truck is a Lariet edition and it has an ignition immobilizer by the way it looks, there is a bulb on the dash.  Thanks again for the info guys, I appreciate it.

Thanks for all of the help guys, the install was perfect.  Tach wire was GREEN / WHITE behind the fuse block taped to the harness.
