I went with the Viper alarm and I'm really pleased with it. Depending on how
much you want to spend, you can load it up with every conceivable option. One
of the things I've been meaning to do is to rig a plunger switch to the rear
tailgate so if somebody opens it it will set off the alarm. The shock sensor is
not sensitive enough to go off if you open the gate gently.

Subject: DML: Need a new alarm after last night

I woke up last night to hear somone pushing thier horn in a endless pattern
of perfect honks. It took my awhile to wake up and realize it was my alarm!
The one good thing about this Dakota factory alarms is that they only go off
if the door is opened, so I knew it was not a false alarm. So out side I
ran, barefoot, raining, 30 degress. It looks like someone opened up the
canopy and tailgate, crawled in, and opened up the rear sliding window,
don't know how yet. Then proceded to unlock or open one of the doors. Then
got out, closed the tailgate and canopy and then opened the unlocked door.
The alarm went off and they ran away, nothing stolen. But now it's got me
thinking it's time to get a new alarm. I had been meaning to anyway, but I
suppose I'll just do it alittle sooner. So I would like to know what you
folks think about various brands of alarms, features, and what your personal
experiances/preferences are. I'm also looking at purchasing a pop n lock
for the tailgate, nothing fancy, don't need a power one.
Thanks!
