I have a 02 Ford Excursion Deisel with the 7.3. What are your thoughts on the best 2way system for this truck. I would be interested in the ambient temp sensor for when i am snowmobiling up north and there are no plugs available to plug my vehicle in. Also i have seen alot of posts regarding problems with vehicles shutting down do to high idle. My deisel when warming up will idle up until i step on the brake peddle. Any thoughts on this as well would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

although their may be many different opinions i prefer viper 791 xv... it has a wait to start wire and tach monitoring witch can both be accessed at the cluster it also has a timer mode that will start your truck every 3 hours.... you might wanna check I think some excursions require a timer relay...

Compustar has a longer range, better looking remote, brighter indiglo remote, more reliable, more individual triggers displayed on the remotes and will also start every 3 hours plus with the use of a temperature sensor it can be programmed to star moe often.

I drive a 2001 F350 diesel, I use and recommend Compustar. Look at the 2WFMS if you want remote start / keyless entry or the 2WFM8000AS if you want the same + alarm functions. Compustar is one of the few companies that do not change things by the year, the brain I have in my 01 (which was installed in a 00 before that) is the same brain that is still used today. A good remote start is only as good as the install, ensure that all of the high current connections are soldered.

I have encountered no issues with my Compustar due to idle up. Compustar does indeed also have a plug in low temp sensor, perfect for what you need.
