My Question is when cranking my steering wheel all the way to the left or right while the truck is in idle the motor dies. I do now that my steering pump has a leak but I was able to stop it with Lucas steering fluid. It has a problem idiling in cold weather, So I need to sit in the truck and give it a little gas to keep it running. I dont know if this problem can be related to the steering stalling. I was told that it could be a fuel delivery problem, since I added #10 FUEL PLATE I know require more fuel, and with the low sulfur diesel, and since I havent been running a diesel additive my lift pump or injector pump could be going bad. Im not a diesel mechanic. I also wonder what diesel additive you guys would recommend for a 96 12 valve cummins with 170,000 miles. Have you ever heard of anyone using a half bottle of ATF fluid to a tank of gas for a additive?
