Remember that with the imobiliser <sp?> they need to put an extra chipped key somehwere so that the truck can start. I have had starters in almost all my vehicles except my S2000. A friend of mine tried to go the cheap way with the $50 Walmart starter. Never mind starting by remote control, the car sometimes wouldnt even start. I also got one at a local audio shop, which forced me to use an aftermarket key fob which just didnt work too well. Even aftermarket setups here in the NE are usualy going for $300 when installed at a reputable place, must be high demand or something. I feel that since they have to hack into the imobiliser function having the dealer do it (and warantee it) is worth the extra $100 or so. Not to mention I wouldnt want to lose the auto down feature just to have a starter.
