I put the remote solenoid on all my trucks along with the heat shield. Advantages are for one the hot start problem, 2 is the ability to crank the engine over very easily when servicing the truck, 3 all the battery wires and charging wires are not buried behind the engine block and getting burned and oily and 4 being able to change the starter a lot easier [when needed], and not to have to disconnect the battery and losing all the memory in the stereo.
