Also 6.66 OHM resistance on the coil to distributor cap wire.
I don't know what resistance should be but I'm guessing that CEL not lighting up means my fusible link is bad?
Maximum resistance: 25 kΩ per cord

Before you replace a starter, search for a rebuild shop in your area; they're pretty common as this is a simple job, if you have the tools and spare parts, which are also common. I had a starter rebuilt, while I waited (an hour), for $50 last year.Just ordered two new Toyota Fusible Links, will get new cap and rotor tonight. Also ordered new Denso Spark Plug wires and will replace the plugs as well. This engine has been running well but has 246K miles on it, so it's not new.
@Madwatch Thanks for the tip, I was considering replacing the entire starter, any reason to do so such as other parts wearing out or should I just replace they Solenoid?
I guess I could start with that and go from there. I think I replaced the starter brushes when I did the head gasket at 170K but I honestly can't remember....
Ok I'll try this stuff and see what happens. It's really irritating and may wind up costing me a new truck if my wife loses faith in this one.
Of course that means I'd get my truck back.... so there's that.
The fuseable link is one unit that gets replaced and is OFTEN a cause of no start conditions. Here is what it looks like:

Lose the stock clamps and put on some decent military style clamps. Do the job right or stay home

^ it's called a hand reamer... ream the fusible link hole and it fits just fine

I replaced the 3/8" bolt with an 8mm.Now I want to see how everybody attaches their STOCK Toyota LC 80 fusible link to the large bolt on a "military style" terminal.
