I would double check all connections first, clean them up and some Dielectric Grease is always a good idea.
If this does not help i would say the starter contacts may have a point of wear. You can replace them yourself, its a lot cheaper than a new/reman starter. http://www.fostertruck.com/dodge/

BTW did they test it multiple times at the parts store, or just once?
