Question Need help wiring an alarm system on a 98' Cummins

Hey Everyone,

I just bought a Viper 5904 Alarm System with all the upgrades for my truck. I do need help locating all the wires I need to tap into, I've spent about 45 minutes looking online already and have only found a minimal amount. This alarm system needs to tap into wires for window control, lights, engine start up and shutdown.

This is being installed on a 1998 Dodge Cummins 3500.
This is the gist of the info I have found on wiring up some of the alarm: <1998 Dodge Ram Pickup Alarm, Remote Starter, Keyless Entry Wiring Information>

These are pictures of the instructions for the alarm showing what I need to tap into;





Thanks Everyone if you have any help!!

Fair warning, we've removed more viper systems than we've installed. They are known to have serious operation issues, which in some cases can only be repaired by removing the system and sending it back.

Ouch.. that's just dandy to hear... do you recall what the problems were with the systems that were removed? What system would you recommend, even though I have already bought the Viper. Thanks for the heads up though.

Primary complaints are the system activates for no reason and wouldn't deactivate. If the battery dies the system (according to viper) could "possibly " loose programed parameters. To make things easier make your connections in a manner in which their easy to disconnect. Ive honestly not had experience with any other brand. We are just commonly asked to remove viper systems.
