Does anyone happen to know what part I should order? I'll keep looking and if I find it I'll post it.

What are your readings in what conditions?
Should be o VDC across the major terminals when charging (plugged into SP/Generator running, or the engine running) and a few tenths or a volt or two when not charging (the difference between the chassis battery voltage and the house battery bank voltage).
The Trombetta pulls an amp of current continuously when energized (charging taking place) and the coil area does get hot - normal.
There are a number of continuous duty multi hundred amp replacement relays on the jungle site. Here's an example of one:

Most of the time these relays carry under 50 amps but this is also the relay that connects the battery banks together for emergency starting so the higher current handling the better.
