Hot starter won't start.

Hot starter won't start.
Hello all,
I put this post on another forum and got some results(thanks Texas12), but just in case someone has actually gone through this, I would like to post it here.
My problem is this: When I run the truck and it reaches running tempurature, the starter will no longer start. Thinking that the solonoid contacts might be worn, I pulled the starter out to inspect. In an attempt to get the new contacts from Toyota, I just decided to get a Bosch re-built as the original already had 205,000 miles on it. Long story short....the newly installed rebuilt starter is exhibiting the exact same problem. If I do the ole BANG on the side of the starter trick it will reset enough to start sometimes....others I must push start. Either way its a pain....a big one. When the starter won't do its thing, I hear a faint and very high pitched noise. Almost like the power is whining down there. Another note....on cold it starts faithfully. Any ideas? I need a real solution here. This has been a year long saga. Thanks for the help in advance.

Yah, we replaced all the ground and even put in new battery terminals and cables. What I don't understand is what mechanically is happening inside the starter when I smack it with the butt of a hammer and it suddenly works. Makes me think when it gets hot, something inside is getting sticky, but to have two starters do the exact same problem is mighty confusing.

probably lack of toyotas having an external soleniond or switch... the vehicle sends all the power through a system that cant handle it... check out www.4crawler.com for tips on this situation.... let me find a more direct link for you: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/Starter.shtml
