Dodge Cummins Shut Down Problem
While my 98 dodge Cummings diesel is running, I turn key to shut off, but seems to still want to run, a weird winning clicking sound comes from the truck. I barely turn the key back to start and it keeps running without starter. I have to mess with it to shut down completely. This doesn't happen all the time.

Sounds like the fuel shutoff solenoid is going bad.

Gone, but not forgotten...
I didn't know Dodge made a Cummings. If only there was a forum dedicated to Dodge diesels like this one is dedicated to the CHEVROLET DIESEL...
Edit: Sorry, that was kinda snarky. You'll get a way better answer on the forum I linked to though...

sounds like you have a 12v 1998 cummins (rare) and yes, its the shutdown relay. Google larry B's replacement parts and join us over at diesel truck resource dot com
Has your dash cracked yet?
Seen and herd the Duramax a full year before they were built!
