Pull key out while running?
My Dad can pull the key out of his ignition while the truck is running. He has an early 99 350 with a 7.3. Anyone else able to do this? Is something worn out in the ignition or what?

Yea my Jeep did it too. I liked it, hah. Oh well, I doubt my Dad really cares, I was just curious if anyone else noticed they could do it, too.

Every ford truck since high school as done it to me. 3 different trucks over 20 years. My current 4th truck does not. I miss that option that i had with the others. Needed the key to start it and as long as i didn't lock the ignition i could pull it out. No key needed. But if i turn the key to the lock position i needed the key to unlock it. Went weeks without a key because i lost them, but one day i turned the ignition switch to the lock position and i was screwed at the gas station. I ended up finding the keys in my tool box buried. Some days i wish my current truck did it. The first day i picked up my current truck i tried it to see if this truck did it. I was disappointed.

my 86 chevy dump did it and it was cool. on cold days i could pull the key-lock the door-leave the truck running with the heat on and go into a store or something withour worrying about it getting stolen and keeping the heat on.
