Is it the stock remote start or an aftermarket remote start?

It can’t. It’s a “safety” feature in case you forget you started your vehicle.

Question

it could be a "safety feature" but in just 5 min my truck isnt even warmed-up nor has it defrosted my windows

all i read is that it should run for 15 min for two times in a row by remote start before i have to start the truck manualy

both my rams run for 15 mins and only 2 times in a row,, then you need to use key. Maybe some sensor is shutting it down as it monitors the engine and fuel i have been told. My dealer told me than when fuel is below 1/4 tank it sometimes wont even start with the remote as it wont let the truck run empty of fuel

That's interesting. I agree with outlawstorm but my 2011 factory remote starts and runs for 10 minutes before shutting off. Five minutes is rather short. Good question but i have no idea.

Seems to me there should be a way to adjust that in the software somewhere. Probably hidden deep within many nesting menus...... 5 minutes just ain't enough. The engine isn't going to be warm, the windows will still be frosted, and the interior will still be an icebox.....

If the fuel cap is letting fumes out a sensor will shut it down. I have replaced my fuel cap on my 2010 many times at 130K
