I'm going to stop at autozone and get a new pickup coil for the truck. Still stalling out on me and I seem to have it narrowed down to that.

Ya, but a easy fix, I hope.

Also need to check my wifes montana. When you turn the wheel half way left the ABS light comes on. Turn it right and no problem, it'* only left.

Dan..I've usually found that to be an ABS sensor that came unclipped from the backing plate.

Well, rebuilt the distributor with a new pick up coil. Engine stalled same way. I thought for sure that was it. Well, I have the ICM, and coil to try yet. Then perhaps wires.

Ya Bill, I'm about to eat and then climb under and look around. Only cuts out on hard left turn.

I'd aim straight for the wiring/clip. It'* common.

I found the wire on the left side had a little problem, no big deal, but it may have been the issue. There'* a clip that holds the wires as they come in to the plug. So with wires may have been moving. I clipped it in place and turned the wheel back and forth several times and the ABS light didn't come on. Time will tell.

I can't leave it there when I drive around, but I could put it there when I go to the next car cruise/show. As long as no one is sitting in the back seat.

I replace the pickup coil on the truck today.

Talk about a HUGE pain. I had to take the whole distributor apart to change that one small part.
