alarm system for an 82, which one?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

redrat · 03-13-2008, 01:47 AM

Im working on the wireing on my 82 c10 and i want to install a good alarm system while im at this stage in the build. I want it to use my power door locks also. What I mean by that is, I whant to unlock or lock my truck with the key fob. Can any one point me in the right direction or tell me who to steer clear of.

Thanks for the help, Ryan

I'm using the VIPER 350HV system on my 83, locks and unlocks my power door locks and comes with the blue LED light, picked it up at BestBuy

I use Viper as well. Just pick up one of their models with door lock relays. I bought mine online from Amazon.com. No warranty because it wasn't bought and installed from a certified dealer, but I really wanted to install it myself the right way so I took my chances.

are the directions pretty detailed for the install? on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard would you say it is to install ??

ditto with a viper with keyless entry. rate of difficulty... i'll give it a 2 since im colour blind. basically if you can install a car stereo an alarm is no issue. wires for d/l are easily to splice into above kick panels, off hand i forget what colours

i had a viper years ago and it worked ok if youre really worried about security lojack may be the way to go tho

IM LOOKING AT AN ALARM ON MY '81. SONDS ABOUT LIKE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT AND I HAVE TALKED TO BOOMERS IN TULSA AND HAD WORK DONE BY THEM BEFORE AND AM HAPPY WITH THEM. I AM LOOKIN AT THE CLIFFORD FM ALARM WITH PHONE DIAL/PAGER ABILITIES THOUGH A BIT PRICY BUT IN MY EYES WELL WORTH IT

I have never heard anything bad about anything from the viper alarm line up. I want to do one someday but no money for it yet.

The first thing I will be putting in the 84 when I get it is a compustar alarm http://www.compustar.com/main.htm

I had this on my SRT-10 and it is a great alarm, kind of pricey but you get what you pay for. I really love the remote that comes with it, if the alarm is sounded the remote will vibrate (as long as I'm within 1 mile of the car). They come with all the bells and whistles.

my brother has a clifford alarm in his falcon - its ok when it works properly, but usualy it goes of for no reason, and it tells you to "step away from the vehicle"
and "dont hit me that hurts".... rather funny...
