Truck dies at idle with AC on

One of my fellow co-workers has a '97 Ram with an auto trans and has the following problem: If he runs the A/C and comes to a stop (in gear), and turns the steering wheel, the truck dies. He said that the idle rpm seems fine before he turns the wheel. It will not do it wilth the A/C off. He has changed the fuel filter and says the truck runs fine down the highway. Any ideas what to check next? Thanks in advance.
