When making a left hand turn, the lights on my dash will all come on and the engine will cut out briefly and then once my turn is complete, the engine will run fine. Never has any trouble restarting.

Check your fuel pressure and for engine codes. You may have a bad cable to the battery so clean those

Actually, we put the truck up on a lift and relaize that there was a wire that was loose and every time I turned my truck to the left - the arm was actually scraping the wire - it had been going on for so long that the insulation was no longer on the wire. We taped up the line and moved it out of the way of the pit arm(I think its called). Fixed! Thanks for your help though!
