I dont think the two are related. turning wheel at full lock you're trying to run the pump and rack against it self. it has no where to go so it just does all it can to try which will bog it down. Now the other issue sounds like it could either be a fuel delivery issue, or a ignition issue. Id test the fuel pump first.

Disconnect neg battery cable. Release fuel pressure by removing the fuel pump relay from the distribution center. Then start and run your truck till it stalls. Install a fuel pressure gauge with hose on fuel pressure test port. reconnect fuel pump relay.
start engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Fuel pressure should be 44.2-54.2 PSI (3.1-3.8kg/cm2) If pressure is not good check for kinked or dmged fuel line. If pump isnt putting out enough and you cant find a kink or dmged hose, let me know and i'll tell you how to check the amperage, volume, and pressure leakdown tests. Anyway, thats somewhere you can start..
