The OP could run a relay for the solenoid, but I've run the solenoid off a 16G wire w/o an issue. The inevitable Ford solenoid suggestion is as always nonsense (IMHO).
I too am assuming the switches are the culprit and was hoping to confirm that with my post. Although it may not become evident unless the truck is a daily/weekly driver.
I have considered wiring a relay in to drop the load on the switch down below a couple amps. If I go that direction I'll be using a 40 amp Bosch style relay no need for a big ole starter solenoid relay here.
