Since you replace the solenoid, starter and battery, you should now check all of your grounds. Mainly the one from the - side of the battery to the block. Make sure it is clean right up against the block and that your actual terminals at the battery are clean.
Sounds to me like you have a bad ground somewhere in the battery to starting system...so be sure to locate and clean all your grounds in the engine bay.
