Starter???
I have a 2010 F150 with 39,000 miles. This morning the truck started fine. I ran in to get something came back out and the truck had died. I tried to restart it and nothing. When you turn the key forward the starter spins and wont stop until u turn the key off. The truck never tried to fire. The motor tuned over and over but nothing. is there a starter relay? A solenoid? Can anyone help. I am lost on this one

The key switch only sends a signal to the ecm. Once the ecm gets the signal from the key it engages the starter. It continues to keep the starter engaged until it detects a running engine. Since your engine doesn't start the ecm keeps cranking.
Your problem isn't with your starter, you have a problem with either the fuel system or the ignition.
Check the easy things first...I once helped an engineer figure out why he couldn't start his jeep - it was out of gas.
