Probably the purple wire.

You might as well put a 6449 mini starter in it since you gotta pull the starter anyways.

Re: starter solinoid

when i replaced mine, i wrapped the starter in header wrap, and wrapped the purple wire.

its a PITA to get it out, but it comes out. if you go with the mini, it'll be alot easier to install.

Definitely go for the wrap (I used some fiberglass-backed aluminum). I went through a starter and 3 solenoids before adding the wrap (all within about 5k miles), have not had another problem in 50k miles after adding it.

Do the hot shot relay first! Doesn't matter if you change the starter and your purp wire is still a problem...ask me how I know. Cost is about 10bucks v.s $100+ for a starter. At least if you do the relay first, very easy, don't even have to get under the truck, you'll know for sure if you starter is toast.
