Dieseling or "run-on" is usually a result of poor timing and/or a poorly adjusted carburator. The timing needs to be set according the procedure for your truck and the "on car" carburator adjustments need to be made. Unless there is something wrong with the advance mechanism sticking, this should cure the problem.
