You should add a standard auto relay between the ingnition on signal wire you have tapped and the fans controller. This will isolate the ignition from the fans and should stop this problem.

I do have a relay, but its betweenthe fans and the controller. Does that matter?

i think he wants you to wire the relay to where it is the exciter. meaning to use the relay to break the ignition wire.

Does the truck run "clean" when shut-down or does it always diesel, where it bucks, chuggs, and knocks? ("Ka-clunk Ka-clunk")

I had an old car that would do that on hot days. I'm worried your fans aren't cooling enough...

Did you use a voltometer when you hooked up your 12v ignition wire? I have had no problems like that I just made sure the power was switchable with the ignition
