OK...i`m assuming the `turn plate`is the drive unit?
You have a new steer motor kit complete? steer encoder is inside the steer motor. Did you replace the steer prox?
Tell me, when you lose steering, is there any noise from the steer motor at all? does it try to turn the drive unit or is it just silent?

If there is no noise, no codes, the steer tiller may be bad. is there play side to side in the steering wheel...but more common is the steer card. it`s located on the firewall near the EPO red button. It may not see the tiller commands and wont power the steer motor. it can fail if you had bad radial rings and the drive unit seized up, burning out the steer motor, overheating the steer card. If you dont have another truck to swap parts to test, tap on tiller when the failure occurs. wiggle the wires at the steer card. can you access superword and see the inputs from the tiller on the display?

there a pressure transducer on the steering pump?
also could be a timer issue or input issue from the foot pedal switches?

just a wild guess ;o)

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
