I'm installing a ford solenoid on the frame rail and bypassing the GM one on the starter. $20 for a solenoid is cheaper than $100 for a new starter.
I had to do the same. Not only on my Suburban but also my Chevelle. Summit sells the kit. It's referred to as heat soak. But this may not be your problem.
