Eating Starter Solenoids - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've just burnt out my third starter solenoid in less than 3000 miles of short drives. I'm wondering if this is heat related as the truck starts instantly on the first turn of the key in the mornings, but starts to 'click' after that. Yes, I can jump it with a screw driver and start the engine that way. When taken apart, the disc is burnt all around. The truck has a stock 350 with factory exhaust manifolds. No heat shield, but is it necessary? Thoughts on why this is happening?
