I am wanting to install a remote start on a 2005 Ford 6.0 Diesel. I am looking for what is best for this truck.

I have a viper 791 xv on my 2005 f-350 crew car, long bed lariat. I can't get the glow plugs to stay on but the installer swears they're heating up. Maybe there's a better model out there.

There is def a diesel wire on that unit. It can be hooked up to the light in the instrument cluster. Once the glow plug light goes out then the remote start will engage.

If you got this installed at a DEI dealer tell them to get directfax #1091 and it will tell them how to do it. I would sned it to you but i dont have access to it right now.

I have a 2005 F-250 Crew Cab S/B it is the Amarillo Package if that makes a difference. I am looking for a remote start and maybe alarm combo. Wondering what is best for this vehicle.

This is amazing....all of the diesels out there...adding extra parts to a truck you barely have room to stuff the R/S into. People saying that Fords have a hard tach to read, and no way to get to the glow plug wire. Every newer Ford Diesel has a glow plug relay pack under the hood, on the pass. side. Either on the valve cover area or the firewall. It has 3 plugs in it, the wire needed is GREEN / WHITE (middle wire, middle plug) it's posative while the plugs are warming.
