I think I would try a new ignition switch or at least unplug the switch after the engine is running and see if it stops running. When you initiate a start, a series of relays turn on in the powerbox. If the ignition relay is melted inside itself, it will not break connection. You can research and get diagrams, videos, and photos on the Web. Just be specific and enter the year, make, and model and ask for a wiring diagram or fusebox or powerbox for that truck. Then chose from the results.

You should be able to identify the correct relay from the diagrams. Relays are not terribly expensive.

Cruise control will not engage consistently

check the brake switch on the upper arm of the brake pedal, if its bad your cruise control won't work because the truck thinks your pushing the brake pedal. I had the same problem in mine, it's a $30 part that takes about a half hour to fix
