Contact MAX POWER. I have not bought mine yet but read that he is the MAN when it comes to the remote starts.

I bought an Astro Start system from Max Power around Christmas time. He supplies all the documentation to install it (if you have the abilities and desire). I use my remote start all the time. You will have to wait a little while to hear from Max Power....I think he is still on his honeymoon.

Recently got an astrostart installed in my truck. I have been very happy with it and have had no trouble starting in the cold. Coldest was probably between 0 and -5 with the remote start. It is 7 degrees out right now.

1. can I put a Remote start on it,it is a auto trans.

Yes. Works great.

2. will it work in the winter, sub zero temps

Yes. If you get the AstroStart one you can program it so that when the temp falls below a threshold of say 20 degress f it will automatically start the truck and let it run 10 minutes every 2 hours until the temp rises above 20.

3. what is a good system

I would suggest the AstroStart 2205. You Can order it from Max Power's website at http://www.rathwellhardware.com

Hope this helps.
