Remote Starter
Just wondering if anyone has installed a remote starter on a Duramax diesel? Any problems? I had a Bulldog remote starter on a '02 GMC gas and it caused problems with the computer. I had to have it removed.
The duramax is a '07 2500 Shorty |

Re: Remote Starter
Is that 07 new body style or classic? If it's new you may be able to get a G.M. accessory remote start.

Re: Remote Starter
Guy I work with had an 07 or 08 max. The dealer can program it right in. Not any cheaper, but will be factory and should not cause any issues.

Re: Remote Starter
Most of the issues that i have seen with alarms and remote start systems are the guy that installed it. A lot of guys that installs these things have no business in a cars wiring harness. The biggest issue is poor connections due to laziness. instead of solder and shrink tube guys just twist wires together and use tape or use halfass connectors.

Re: Remote Starter
i own a shop here in alberta and we install about 200 remote starters a year, lots in chevys and duramaxs with no issues. just make sure u have a qualified installer and u are using a quality product. stick to the major players in the industry like viper, autostart, astrostart and others. if i can be of any help let me know.
