Truck wont shut off, checked the usual culprits

Have an interesting issue that just cropped up. Driving home one day, i stopped off to run and errand, turn the key off and the truck continues to run. I figure no problem, its the solenoid. So i just leave it run, take care of what i need to, and head home. Get home, go to shut the truck down manually, pull the key out, pop the hood, only to find that the solenoid is down, in the off position. Hop back in the truck, turn the key to the run position, pull up on the lever and it pulls up and sticks. I end up having to load the motor up and blip the throttle to get it to shut down in gear.

So heres the problem, everything i can find on this subject is electronic. Well, my solenoid is working just fine and dandy like its supposed to, and the truck wont shut down. Anybody ever have this happen to them, or know where i have an issue?

Truck is a '97, auto, with a set of 435's, 0 plate, 60mm hybrid, and a 3KGSK. All of these mods had been on the truck for a while before this issue happened.

There is a key on the shaft where the shutdown linkage connects to the shaft that goes into the pump.
Sounds like yours fell out.
