I have recently ordered an engine prelube kit from www.pre-luber.com, and i have always wanted a remote start for my 05 Screw. however, i need a timer delay for the engine crank so the prelube pump has a few seconds to run before the engine turning over. I have researched this just enough to know that you can get remote start systems for diesel's, but i think most of them use the "wait to start" light, which my truck does not have, to delay the engine starting. SO, my question is this. Does anyone know of a system that will "analogu-ally" run an electric oil pump for a set time before cranking the engine?

 

with the pre-lube systems on the equipment at work, the machine wont start until oil pressures is reached.
I'm not sure, but you could wire the prelube in parallel to the starting circuit of the remote starter using an oil pressure switch to connect the remote signal wire with the starter relay.

 

I was thinking of using a "delay on make" relay timer to delay the power to the starter soleniod. But i'm not sure how the remote starter systems operate. Do they send a signal once, or do they send power until the engine is running? If they just send a short signal, my "delay on make" probably won't work. Plus, i don't really want all the fancy stuff that comes with a good remote start system.

 

i don't have a remote starter but i would assume it looks for engine RPM.
