Unhappy 2500 Stalls when taking turns

i have been reading that this is a big problem for the 2500. I have a 2001 Ram 2500 and I just recently purchased it. It stalls when it idols and also when I make a turn. Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

The experts will chime in, but I had a 98 Ram 360 4x4 do the same thing and it was diagnosed needing an Idle Control Valve. I had it changed and it cured the problem (inexpensive too). But I also had a 2500 that the torque converter bellied up, symptoms different of course (fixed). K.

On the way home from work last night, blew a fuel line. I had been at Advanced Auto trying to work through some of the things suggested on the form. I guess it narrows down the culprit, there was a lot of pressure built up in the tank when I popped the gas cap off, not sure what that means as I am just getting my hands dirty. If anyone has suggestions, the truck is at the shop right now and would love to know before hand, so I can be on par with my Mechanic

Some pressure is normal. (especially as it gets warmer throughout the day.) Excessive pressure would indicate a failure in the Evap system.
