'89 460 starter issue?

I have a 1989 F350 460 auto tranny. The truck used to turn over fine when cold but would not start when it warmed up. The solenoid would click, but not turn. Today 80 degree weather,it won't turn at all. I replaced the solenoid a few weeks, and did not fix the issue. Am I looking at a bad starter?

So are you're saying that the when the truck gets hot and you shut it off it won't start again? But if you let it cool off it will start right up?
If that's the case...mine did the same thing and it only got worse.
I replaced the starter and it solved the problem.

Roddey,

That is exactly it. I guess I am replacing a starter.

Thanks for the help.
