Default 07 Laramie Remote Start

Hi Fellas,
Im new here so to start i would like to say hi to you all.
I have an 07 laramie that only runs for about 30 seconds when I use the remote start.
Why would this be?
Can I change the run time somehow?
Thanks in advance

Is it a factory install or aftermarket remote start? Factory installs run about 10min unless one of the safety switches disables the system. Aftermarket is a whole other can of worms.

There are conditions that must be met in order for the remote start to function correctly. Things like door/hood ajar, check engine light, fuel level, etc. Your owners manual will have all the information.

Ok, as per factory service manual, the following are reasons why the remote start would fail:
See table below for possible causes for the inoperative Remote Start System:
IF THE ENGINE STALLS OR RPM EXCEEDS 2500
NORMAL TIME OUT RUN MODE (15 MINUTES)
CUSTOMER MOVES IGNITION INTO RUN/START
ANY VEHICLE DOOR AJAR
TRUNK/LlFTGATE AJAR
HOOD AJAR
START COUNTER REACHED
LOW RPM SHUTDOWN
KEY IN IGNITION
BRAKE PRESSED
THE HAZARD SWITCH IS PRESSED
NOT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL
VEHICLE SPEED HIGH
VTA ALARM TRIGGERED
PANIC MODE ACTIVATED
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
LOSS OF BATTERY VOLTAGE
MIL ON
LOW OIL PRESSURE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE HIGH
CRANK NO START
RKE OFF MESSAGE
VEHICLE NOT CONFIGURED
HOOD SWITCH NOT INSTALLED OR INOPERATIVE
NO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
INVALID KEY
IGNITION SNA
IGNITION NOT IN LOCK
EXCESSIVE GLOW PLUG TIME (DIESEL ONLY)
VEHICLE IN SHIPPING MODE
VEHICLE NOT PROGRAMMED

The usual culprits are hood open (or switch messed up) or any of the doors open (or again, switches).

You aren't trying to get in and just sit there while it's running without switching over, are you?
*After the vehicle is unlocked, you have 60 seconds to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition, and
move it to the RUN position. Otherwise, the engine will cancel remote start and automatically turn off. Remote start
will also cancel if any of the following occur:
• If the engine stalls or RPM exceeds 2500.
• Any engine warning lamps come on.
• The hood is opened.
• The hazard switch is pressed.
• The transmission is moved out of P (Park).
