This being said, can someone enlighten me as to why Ford's greater
wisdom allowed them to make the decision to produce a starter w/ a
solenoid mounted to it; i.e. my '92 F150 (5.0). Further, the whole
starter/solenoid assembly has to be replaced when the solenoid goes
out!
There's also a remote solenoid on the fenderwell. Maybe one of the
double E's on the list can sort this out?
My first car was a brand x. It had headers and I couldn't tell you
how many times I had to replace the solenoid. Later, I bought a Ford
and drove the damn thing 167K before the engine let loose. The
starter and the solenoid were still original.

Before you worry about heat and hard starting you for your Tiger you have
to realize that with "brand x" the starter solenoid is integral to the
starter. When the solenoid gets hot the current required to operate it
goes up. With Ford starters the solenoid is seperate and generaly
mounted on the fender/firewall and hence no problem.
