Are you refering to the 3.0L or the 4.0L? Automatic or Five speed? The reason the parts stores tell you you have to buy a whole starter is because the starter motor and solenoid are joined by a thick metal bracket that essentially makes it one whole unit.
Be sure once you start getting the new part back into the truck that your positive terminal is disconnected at the battery so you don't fry anything or burn yourself.
