The condition is called heat soak and is due to engine heat cooking the starter and especially the solenoid. Replace the solenoid with the large original (nonmetric) version, or do what I did a few years ago and get a heavy duty rebuilt (longer body) starter from Oreilly Auto Parts with the larger nonmetric solenoid. It's a cheap fix.
