Hi I just recieved an Isuzu 3lb 10kw diesel with a keyed start. I'd
like to put the remote start in the house which is about 150' away. The
guys at the place where I bought it were skeptical because of the dc
voltage drop, and referred to putting in a relay. But, surprise he
wasn't clear on how to do that. Could you all advise me on how to do
that?

Hi
Go to the toy store, buy a remote control car, strip the remote out of
it and use it.

I have run dc controls some really long distances ~300 feet @ 24v. I was
pulling in relays so the current was low. But the inrush to close the relay
was up there, ~6-8 amps. Run the hot to your relay, locally, and the ground
to your remote switch and back. I always use stranded wire.

There is no inrush to a DC relay. the coil is inductive and the current
rises slowly. The exact opposite of inrush.
