Fuel Shut Off Problem
#11
I was thinking that the solenoid had two different sets of windings in their that weren't connected. A pull in winding then a hold in winding. Most times its the pull in winding that doesn't have enough oomph to pull the solenoid in but it will stay up if you turn the key on and push it up manually. Thats what I thought though I could be wrong...

i had the same prob. i found the rubber boot wrapped around the spring and shaft that goes into solenoid. after cleaning this up i tried to operate and it still would not work. i took the large honking relay off the firewall and replaced it with the trailer relay from my fuse box by the battery. this fixed the problem. that relay is around 60 bucks to replace since it handles some high amps. the little relays handle about 30 amps and are cheap. i guess operating the solenoid bound up burned up the relay. hope this helps.

Intermitient stalling
I guys,
I'm kinda new to diesels since I've only had my Dodge 2500 for a couple of years. The Dodge is stalling on occasion when coming to a stop or slow turn. It will restart if I let it coast to a stop, wait a bit and then tromp on the accelerator while cranking the engine. My local diesel mechanic thinks it's the fuel shutoff valve since the truck "runs too good when it's running" We have not been able to get it to stall when he has it. So far, I haven't had the presence of mind to leave the key in the on position and check the position of the valve when it is stalled. Anyway, has anyone had a similar experience and can suggest a cause? The truck runs great otherwise.
cheers, Paul
