THIS is the same one Jason suggested. I will be buying it sometime within the next few weeks. It is likely the same thing as the Clifford one you linked to. DEI makes a ton of the brands out there. www.directed.com

Thanks for the link... how much do shops typically charge to install?

The only thing that's holding me back from buying it now is my fear of screwing up something in my truck. I have found a few sites that have a lot of wiring info and have recieved some tips and advice from Pat (hillbillyinohio)
It might be worth it to check out local shops and see what kind of packaged deals they might have. Another plus is, a lot of shops offer guarantees and lifetime warranties

The shops around here all charge about $200-250 for the install. However, a lot of them won't install an alarm that they don't sell. One shop I went to said they wouldn't install it because they had never heard of the brand (Viper) even though they sell just about every other brand by DEI. Most of them want ~$500 foran alarm and the installation.

Thanks

RE: Alarms... I need suggestions
If you havent had experience installing an alarm before then I would suggest against it. Alot of crucial wires to the vehicle will be messed with.
Good thing about Directed stuff is if the brain fry's you can just swap another DEI brain in there and its set.
