I was just getting home and while i was in my neighborhood and i was turning and my pwer steering went out and then my truck shut off and it said low oil pressure but i just checked the oil and it was fine , has anyone had this happen to them before? or know what could be wrong.thanks

 

When the engine stalls, you lose oil pressure.........................

 

The idle may have gotten so low that the PS was not producing enough pressure to assist then it got so low that the truck stalled. How did you get the truck home? Does it run today? Your truck may have simply stalled. One of your accessories may have seized causing the stall? The Iac may have allowed too low an idle and it stalled.

 

it started back up and i drove it home and it has been fine today

 

That is what I need to hear. I suspect that the IAC is dirty and it allowed the revs to go so low that the engine stalled.

What is the IAC?

 

I think it's the Idle Air Controller.

 

Yes, IAC is Idle Air Control valve. Need to know year and engine size to indicate location of IAC.

oh ok thanks and it an 04, 5.4

 

No worries - You don't have an IAC

It would help if you fill your info in so it displays top right corner - Like we do. You can make a sig that displays your info as well - Like model year, engine size and so on.

 

ok thanks .

 

Like jbrew said you don't have an IAC. So that didn't cause the problem. If it starts to happen more frequently I would advise the dealer and see if there is an update to the PCM programming. That will cost you some cash so that is why I would wait.
