Default 5.0 won't cut off

Anyone every experience this? I stalled it and the lights remained on.... In the off position and key removed it would stay running. Disconnected the battery and all is well.

Any ideas?

Im guessing here......

If the 5.0 doesnt cut off, it obviously isnt ready to stop driving so GET BACK IN THE CAR!!

seriously, it'll kill you.

if you take the key out and the vehicle is still runing, it can mean that your piston rings are leaking, which keeps oil out of the cylinder, if they are leaking, than oil gets in your cylinder and keeps the cynders firing.....when ever you crank your pony up is there any blue smoke coming outta the exhaust? If there is blue smoke, it can mean that oil is going into the cylinder

The 2011 was just returned to the selling dealership the other day because of previous owner rode it hard and put it away wet. The motor and tranny both blew. Here's the thread.

Not just the motor... All the light stay on like the key is in... Radio stays running with door open and key in the off position.
