Trying this again as I didn't see the original make it to the list.

So, my car's being a little bitch again.

Last night I decided I would tinker with it in the garage.  Got home from work, shut it off.  Backed the truck out of the garage, went to start the SHO, and nothing.  No cranking, no starter whirring, etc.

Battery voltage seems fine.  It's not even trying to draw much voltage when I turn the key (only drops down about .5V).

The starter is a reman that was put in about 5 years ago, has about 60k miles on it.

Here's what may be the key to figuring this out: the car does this when hot, really hot.  If I let it cool down, it tends to start (although a bit slowly).  It has now repeated this three times; hot = no start, wait = eventual start.

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Thanks as always,
