I don't think that is the case. I am sure most folks have ideas but it could be so many things...

Do you or the wife have a heavy key ring? It could be that the ignition switch is worn form the weight of a lot of keys. Well, it could be that simple!!

the truck starts,but cuts right off.so its not the key switch,i'm thinking its something on top of the intake that needs cleaning because i have seen a few posts on the boards from guys with the same problems i;m having.well thanks for your input.
