When making right turns above probably 10-15mph the truck sputters and stalls out. If I straighten out the wheels it will rev back up and run fine or if I kind of pump the throttle it will rev it back up when it starts to sputter. It had no problems when I'm turning left or going straight or accelerating, only when I'm making right turns does it do that. When it stalls out I have to crank it a couple extra seconds to get it to start back up. The truck also has 3/4 of a tank of gas so I don't believe it is sloshing the gas around causing it to suck air in. I also replaced the fuel pump a couple years ago and I don't drive the truck that much. The fuel pump also cycles every time I turn the key to the run position so I don't believe it would be the fuel pump. I've also checked all the fluids and they are all good. The battery is also brand new since I've started having thus problem. I don't know what else to check. Thanks for the help.

Check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. Then check to see if wiring harness has rubbed through to fuel pump.

Do you know what else could cause that? I looked under and didn't see any frayed wires on the fuel system and all the lines looked fine with no leaks. I checked fuel pressure and it held steady at just under 50 psi.

No idea unless harness is worn thorugh someplace I really can't think of much. It could be ignition harness as well as fuel pump harness.
