i have the El' Cheapo Command Start in my truck. it was like $130 and it has worked without a problem for almost two years. you will need some module thing to interface the factory alarm/anti theft system through the command start module so you can control it with your new fob.
its advertised to go 1000ft, but it will only go that far if there is NOTHING in the way. i can start it anywhere in my house though.

I'm pretty sure all of our starters are electric. I haven't seen a crank starter on any 2nd gen Ram. Or a gas powered starter for that matter. Maybe a pull cord like on a lawn mower. You might be able to rig up something like that. For a quality electric starter I would start shopping Napa. As for looks, I'd imagine they are all about the same. I don't know why you'd put a chrome one on your truck.

I have the Viper5900 Security/Remote Start in my truck. It's awesome! Especially in the winter when it gets to 16 degrees in the morning and in the summer when its 116 out turns the AC on and it's cool by the time you get there. The furthest I have started it from was 4136 feet (took a little roller and walked down a runway at an abandoned airport :P was the longest walk of my life -_-) but that was a straight shot no buildings in the way. In Wal-Mart I park in the far back corner of the lot and go into the back of the building ad it worked (about 900 feet) I mostly like that it alerts you when something happens. You can turn the sensitivity up so if a small and I mean small gust of wind comes through it will set it off (I don't recommend it).

No no no it sets off the alarm. I have to hit 2 buttons simultaneously to start it.
