This is what I have, also where I bought mine from. I need to order a second soon for my blazer as well. No complaints here, seems to work fine for me.

THIS is the same one Jason suggested. I will be buying it sometime within the next few weeks. It is likely the same thing as the Clifford one you linked to. DEI makes a ton of the brands out there. www.directed.com

The shops around here all charge about $200-250 for the install. However, a lot of them won't install an alarm that they don't sell. One shop I went to said they wouldn't install it because they had never heard of the brand (Viper) even though they sell just about every other brand by DEI. Most of them want ~$500 for an alarm and the installation.
The only thing that's holding me back from buying it now is my fear of screwing up something in my truck. I have found a few sites that have a lot of wiring info and have recieved some tips and advice from Pat (hillbillyinohio)
It might be worth it to check out local shops and see what kind of packaged deals they might have. Another plus is, a lot of shops offer guarantees and lifetime warranties

Ya there is a shop here that has lifetime garuntee... I just dont want to get ripped off, and I like to do the work myself, but right now my time is more valuable then my money.
Given, i buy one from a shop, what are the good brands and the bad?
Thanks
