Shutoff noises . . .
I know the CTD makes lots of funny noises when you turn it off. My concern is that I hear a metal-to-metal kind of noise when I turn mine off occasionally (maybe half the time). It almost sounds like the starter solenoid trying to engage or disengage. Is this a normal sound or something I should be concerned about?

Might be the exhaust flexing when the engine lurches during shutdown. I would doubt it is the starter solenoid. That would be more of a grinding noise. Try to start it when it is running. You'll know what I mean.

The only noise I get is the "woosh", which I am told is the turbo charger releasing pressure.

I have been in the Bomb dump for the Air Force for 18 years and have been driving the CTD in the dodge since they came out, except we call them ugly trucks because the Air Force chops them in half and moves the rear end right behind your butt, then they put a ultra low gear in it and a governor that limits it to about 25 mph so we can pull munitions around the flight line, ok... all that to get to this, my 03 makes the same shut off sounds as the old ones we use, kind of a squeaky metallic sound with a shimmy, she just dont want to stop running I guess.

Yeah, that noise will get worse when you start using the AC. It's just the fan clutch and belts that were running stopping all of a sudden when you perform the shuttdown. Don't sweat it just "Drive it Like you Stole It"

On my 02, I get the chirp and turbo noise, but I also get a low growling sound that tails off well after the ignition is turned off. Could never pinpoint what it is or where it's coming from.

I get the chirp but not all the time wish i did though i think it is cool people always look when it chirps i have had diesels for about 5 years now they are higher compression engines than gas and i think that when you shut them off it is such an abrupt stop that the engines stops alittle quiker than the belt.
just my opinion
