Answer
Hi Joe,

could it be the wiring to the starter solenoid?  I had a problem were the exposed main lead wire to the solenoid was soaked in oil, road dirt, some corrosion had started and it was even frayed a little.  I cut the wire, soldered a new piece (same gauge) and it's run ever since.

Perhaps the vibrations of the engine (or tow truck) allow a better connection.  Check all the fuses to make sure they are seated properly.  

When you changed the starter, did it come with a new solenoid or did you resuse the old one?

Best of luck,
