Remote Battery Jumper LSx Starter
Remote Battery Jumper LSx Starter Howdy Gents:
I'm planning out my electrical for a remote battery (trunk mounted) whereby a starter solenoid is also mounted in the truck thus preventing an always live" high current cable up to the firewall.
My question is that when this is done the "starter" and "battery" terminals are "jumpered" because you now have a remote solenoid. I believe the LSx starters are permanent magnet type and I've heard of problems (not necessarily with LSx engines) with the starter exhibiting "run-on" caused by the starters turning into generators for a couple of seconds after the key is disengaged.
Does anyone have experience with "jumpering" LSx starters? Is this a problem?
Thanks for the help!

I have heard of this issue here recently as well, I did my swap in 2008 and I have a LS2 & T56 out of a 2006 GTO, I also have my starter jumpered with a heavy gauge wire and am using a Ford solenoid to activate my starter and I have not noticed any unusual run on or starting issues.

I tried it on the 5.3 in my '84 LTD with the Ford starter relay, and the starter would stay engaged foe a split second after starting, so I did away with the Ford solenoid and all was well. I tried several starters thinking I had a bad one, they all did it when wired that way. Just my experience with them.
