"70 CST, What I would suggest before buying anything is do a starting system diagnostic rundown. Lots of good suggestions here for what your issue might possibly be. If you decide to diagnose yourself, you have great information to work with. I'd suggest you start with checking..."

The replies have been helpful.
I believe the issue is the overheating of the Solenoid ... after the no start issue happens - I can set for about 5-10 minutes and the truck will start right up. I am leaning towards installing a remote solenoid that Getter-Done recommended.
Thanks Again.
