Default push button start?

is it possible to put a push button start in my truck. I know the srt-10 has it and some of the hemi guys are putting it in their trucks. I was wondering if there would be a problem with putting it in a diesel? -Jake

i have a 94 3500 that i put an auto start in, if thats what ur talking about, its a 5 speed so i had to dissengage the clutch safety so it will start in gear now, but the auto start has a waitin period for the glow plugs to warm and will start as long as its not below about 25-20 degrees, if it is i just have to hit it a couple of times.

Not auto start, but a push button to start it rather than turning the key all the way forward. It is just a show thing, but I do like them. I was wondering if it would wreck anything if I put it on my truck.

the ignition system on the 2/3500's is exactly the same when it comes to the start switch as the SRT-10's and gasser rams. it will work and Ive read where some have installed it.

That's a cool idea I never thought of. Big trucks years ago used have push button starters in them. If you decide to put one on jakeman please post some pics cause I'd like to see how it looks.

You can get really creative with this idea. I did this on my Jeep and put several switches to run the functions of the key. You'll probably want a hidden switch if you do all that. For mine, no keys are needed, but you need to push the cigarette lighter in, turn one switch on and one off, then the starter is the center console button. Haven't had anybody figure this out yet!
