I just got my package of used parts for some things that I have been wanting to fix (I love Ebay), anyway I replaced the starter on my 1985 S-10 2x4 2.2L factory Diesel and when I went to start it, The starter continued to crank, even after the engine fired.

(The original starter did the same thing, from time to time, I use to have to disconnect the negative battery cable to get it to stop. I toasted that starter after I decided I was to tired to mess with it and drove the truck)

It cranks even after I turn the key off. Does anyone have any Ideas on how to fix this? Do I have the starter on a bind, does the diesel truck have a relay that went bad, Do I have a bent flexplate? Has any one had this problem?

I hate to think that I got ripped off on an used starter, seems kinda funny that two starters would do the same thing which leads me to believe that it is not a starter problem but something else.

The starter will disengage after I yank the battery cable and reattach it. Do you think I could just wire in a toggle? I would rather find the problem instead of hillbilling it.

I dunno about diesel stuff that might be different on this matter, but that sounds like a bad solenoid to me. Usually they go bad with the click of death, but if particularly dirty they just get sticky and won't disengage. If the 85 2.2l starter looks anything like the LUV gas or newer isuzu starters the solenoid is the smaller round chunk on the starter. It should come apart without too much trouble, but a service manual might help alot. I'd say pick the worst of the two, tear it apart and clean the heck out of it then give it a try.
