Auto Start to save battery..
 
I have an 07 Sierra with the 5.3 and factory remote start. I am looking for a way to set something up that monitors battery voltage and automatically start the truck when the battery drops to a certain voltage. I use my truck alot for camping and tailgating and have a 1200 watt inverter on the truck to power certain AC items and use alot of 12 volt items. I would love to be able to do this without the worry of having a dead battery. Any ideas??

I know my friend had an Ford F-150 that had this option a while back maybe 7-8 years ago. they also had a remote start setting so the vehicle would start every hour 2 hours etc... and it was for the winter time up here in Northern Ontario but im not sure if it was a factory set up or aftermarket. I assume some aftermarket remote starts would still be able to be set up this way but not sure how this could be addapted to the factory remote start. I have the same in my 07 Yukon. I would try talking to the dealer to see if there is a setting that could allow it to start at specific time intervals that you could turn on when camping.
