Remote start on a Duramax?

[ccarlson]

Bought an '05 Chevy with a Duramax this past spring and was wondering if I can put a remote start system on this motor. It only has 50k miles so I'm thinking it would be worth the investment. Coming out of work today at 21 degrees, I can see it would be something that would be even more useful than on a gas motor. It seemed to really want its warm up time.

If it is possible, any recommendations on brands and what they cost?

thanks

I've had a AstroStart on my '05 GMC Duramax since day 1 so you shouldn't have a problem finding one. I can't remember what it cost though, we worked it in on the deal when I bought it. The system is a 2 Way w/ LCD display and I have a distance of about 1/4 mile, it's worked well.

My system is old now so I don't know what the new lineup is like for AstroStart, I would call a GM dealer and see if they put them in ( my dealer did ) or if they recommend a certain brand, it's a whole different game out there these days.
