Also maybe check your key ignition connections and wiring. Good luck let us know what you find out.

Ok, got stopped for the night, pulled into the truck stop, it didnt turn off at all until I put it in gear. Cranked it up and tried again, same thing. Then I drove around the lot once, parked, and it turned right off like normal. Even odder was, after i had to turn it off by putting it in gear, the ABS light came on on the dash, but not the trailer..... wondering if I dont have a broken or dirty ground somewhere.
Edit: cranked it back up and it turned off like normal again.... hmmmmLast edited: Mar 1, 2019

The fuel shut off is on the left rear side of the block above the egr valve. Its near the fuel actuators and has a single wire. My truck will be back midday tomorrow and I'll send you a picture.
Everything you've mentioned describes a fuel shut off not shutting off and not an electrical problem. The good news is that its a cheap fix that anyone who knows which end of a screwdriver is which can do.

I'm going to check the ground to the starter and the ignition relay as well tomorrow morning because that's 2 things I know how to check already and from what I've read tonight, what you've described and those 2 things are the 3 most common culprits of the problem.PoleCrusher Thanks this. -
It can wait until you get home. When mine started acting up I took the cover off the solenoid and put more of a wave in the spring washer to make it more "springy". That fixed it for about 2 weeks. I also needed to stall it to shut down the engine for a few days until I could get a new one.
