The several times I have run into this on my rig and others it was a wiring harness running near an exhaust manifold. The Mfg like to run wires near them. When they heat up they move like a thermostat spring and short out then cool and move away. One repair shop dident put back a small bracket letting the wires droop just enough to touch the manifold. Ran a wire from batt into cab thru a switch then to pos side of coil. When engine died turned switch on and engine refired. Found when I tightened wires on starter only used one hand and the wire twisted enough be affected by the manifold heat. Hope this helps.
Thanks for valuable input; I will be sure to check cable harnesses around engine/manifold. They black protective sheating looks okay, but I will take a much closer look at the individual wires.
Great stuff guys!!! I got my new parts last night, so this weekend will install new parts and check wiring closely and then go for long test drive in the Southern CA hills to make her work hard.
