Default 2005 stalling

I have a 2005 QuadCab with the 4.7 in it atuo tranny.
Every once in a while when I make a tight turn
the truck stalls.
I have done a search on this site and all is see
is that people are having problems as well,
However I cant find any solutions.

Any Ideas out there??

Default RE: 2005 stalling

One of the reasons for the truck stalling is basically there is an idle fluctuation. During that moment when the idle is too low and you happen to turn the wheel, the power steering puts an additional strain on the motor and since the idle is too low it dies. This does not happen all of the time because it is erratic. Sometimes it occurs backing up or turning on the A/C, etc.. There is a TSB out for it that involves reprogramming the PCM. Here is the TSB:

Hope that helps!!
