I have a 1991 Ford F-150 truck.
Every once in a while, the starter solenoid won't disengage after the engine starts. We are talking maybe once every six months; so I have to get out, pop the hood, whack the solenoid. Usually when this happens its about 100 degrees outside. I cleaned all the ground connections. I guess the solenoid just likes to 'weld' itself to the terminals. I know I can keep replacing solenoids. But I was wondering 1) what else should I look at 2) what brand of solenoid do y'all like (e.g. Standard, Airtex, Wells, BWD, AC/Delco, Motorcraft) Starter is cheap O'Reilly replacement, works pretty good Ground wires all gone through to make sure they were not 'rotted out' inside...
