Don’t even try to turn the wheel stopped for starters. Always have to have a plan I find it’s easier to back into a spot . Make a sweep to line up let the wheel return going forward then back in . Parallel parking is a little harder but the truck needs to be moving when cutting the wheel . It’s definitely harder than with power steering . But there is also a lot of strain on the toe rods moving the wheels while stopped . This is one thing I’ve learned driving the Dodge with the Cummins don’t turn the wheel while stopped . Ya it turns but it wipes out the tie rods rather quickly. I have friends who’ve replaced inner and outer rods three or four times to my once in 200k miles
