I'm really surprised that replacing the relay didn't solve your issue. I've got the same starter and after I replaced the relay it's been fine. Even through this cold weather when it always used to occur in the mornings.

I did have the issue happen one time right after I replaced the relay (at about the normal interval of every couple, three weeks) but after that time it hasn't happened and it's going on six months now.

I think the issue is that the relay isn't strong enough for some reason and the contacts don't touch like they should. After a while they might get some buildup which then interfers. But a good solid contact fixed the issue for me. I figured either it was relay in the system or the switch, but a relay would be my first guess. If it was 150,000 miles later I would have thought it was a hard contact issue somewhere. That's when starters are usually toast.

I just want to make sure I get the correct parts on the correct side of the starter.

By the way, my starter is part of the "Cold Weather Package", so the part numbers for the contacts are different than yours: 28226-72010, 28226-74070.
