Starter won`t Disengage

Red face Starter won`t Disengage
After key is switched from the START position to the RUN position, the STARTER STILL RUNS. Cycling the key back and forth will not help. Truck will not shut down! Luckily it has not gone on for longer than about 20 seconds.

Apparently the pinion gear on the solenoid is retracting from the ring gear on the flywheel. I do not hear "grinding". Pretty sure just the starter motor is hanging up.

I rebuilt the starter solenoid (full rebuild kit) 6 months ago with Keiths` Diesel Electric service. From the TDR article. Also tested the starter relay in the PDC. Checked out ok. Tried to get it to hang up, couldn`t, replaced it anyway. Starter wiring is clean & tight.

It used to do this once every 20 or 30 starts. After I rebulit the solenoid and replaced the relay it didn`t happen again until this morning.

It seems to happen more on wet & Humid days.

I don`t think I`m the first guy to have this trouble. I hate to think of what can happen if the starter Won`t shut down, and I can`t disconnect the batteries.

Could it be the ignition switch acting up?

Any help would be appreciated.
