So what is wrong this time? I have been having to add coolant fluid at the rate of 1 gallon every week. There are no visible leaks, so it must be going somewhere! Regardless of where it is going, I constantly had to add to it, and if I made a sharp turn, the truck would automatically shutdown. Having a truck that does that is NOT good in a big city, much less any place.

Solved!!!!!

It trips out on the 'Tilt' mechanism Steve. It is a blasted pin ball machine you have there. All joking aside, I wonder how much sophistication you have in your electric equipment. I E. is there a piece of transmission or suspension adjusting/levelling equipment, which comes into play, with sudden changes of load distribution and/or, lateral dynamics?.

If it is associated with that feature of the vehicle performance, it makes me think that the equipment causing the electrical shut down, could be specific to that sharp turning function.

Good luck
