Default 04 dodge ram 1500 dieing issue HELP!

I was on my way home from work and my 04 ram 1500 5.7 died. I had just filled it up with gas from the local gas station (filled up there several times before) and wasn't having any issues. As I turned into my neighborhoodmy truck suddenly wouldn't turn the corner. I managed to get it to the side of the road and realized that it wasn't running. I fired it up and away I went with no further problems. I had just filled up with gas as I already said reset my trip odometer and my MPG computer are the top. Any ideas why it would quit running all of a sudden? There was no warning, no hesitation, no kicking bucking or misfire just boom total shut off. If anyone has any ideas please let me know asap.

Thanks guys

Couple of questions...were you going slow? Did you have the wheel turned most of the way? Did you have the A/C or defrost on?

No AC or defrost. I was probably going between 5-10mph since I was slowing to turn the corner.

Try this TSB, if it is what I think it is, sometimes your idle will drop lower than usual and then when you turn the wheel it causes the the rpm to drop even more and then it stalls.
