it has a new starter and soleonoid
i just put a new soleonoid on it last night because it wouldn't start and i just put a brand new starter on it last week? is it possible the soleonoid is hooked up wrong. i knew a guy who had the same problem with a chevy and it was a connection under the dash that was loss any advice there?

If neither of those is the cause i would go for the switch itself, if it's in fact the switch you should replace it ASAP, as a stuck switch might lead to fires. If i'm recalling right, some of those switches were on a recall, you should check that out.
But i would double check both the starter and the solenoid, there is an easy way to check them, when it gets stuck again, hit the solenoid first, if it releases then it's the cause, if it doesn't, get under the truck and hit the starter to see if it releases (you can use a pipe on both, but try not to overdoit).
