Re: starter stays engaged
Maybe a bad ignition switch or perhaps the starter solenoid?

Re: starter stays engaged
How is your starter wired? Is it stock, or are you using a relay (remote solenoid)? And is it a "permanent magnet" type starter?

Re: starter stays engaged
Sounds like a bad Bendix gear to me.

Re: starter stays engaged
well it has been starting fine except for having to let go of the key to bust off if you hold it it will turn over all day and never crank if you let go it will instantly but this last time it just stayed engaged i killed the truck and still was turning i had to pull the battery cable
