40 bucks, check on ebay. The install is easy and there are numerous write ups out there on the forums.

There is a guy on dodgetruckworld that had his mounted in the power outlet spot inside the center console. I thought that was a pretty cool idea.

You turn the key to the on position and then you push the button or you can use your key just like normal. Installing it is easy, you can hook it up from the two big terminals on your starter or you can tap into your steering colum harness to jump the selinoid.

My question is. Once it is installed while the engine is running and that button is bumped will it spin the starter.

I know the straight wire to the starter would but does Dodge have something that stops this in the SRT?

You have to have the key in to unlock the steering colum.

I paid 40 bucks total and installed it myself, took 10 minutes.

There are two ways to hook it up. The way I have it, the key will not start the truck period. Or you can have it set up so that you can start with either key or button.

On the newer Dodge trucks, the computer is smart enough to sense that the vehicle has already been started and it will not engage the starter with the key or the button.
