Question for the Mad Dr.

[88Racing]

Now I am not trying to drag this out!

I agree with Bill if people want that option let them do it.

This just for curiousity: Does any one have a f150 stx with a mt and if so does it have a traction control button on the dash? I know most later model gm cars with mt have them and they act the same way once slippage is sensed. My parents windstar van has this button also and its an at.

I am just trying to show that in some other vehicles its just a button. It should make it easier to track down knowing that little piece of info.

From experiance in a 02 camaro mt the tc button did not help to win a race it made it feel like the f150's 1st and 2nd. Glad it wasn't for pinks.

On the 6.4L diesel, there is a switch to engage or disengage traction control if excess power causes traction loss. Many high performance vehicles such as Mustangs also have traction control, often with a switch to manually shut it off.

Jim,

In regards to the throttle control, as near as I can figure it isn't using a parabolic sort of curve... at least not as you described. It appears to be more that it transitions from the lower map to the normal map. I guess the effect would be the same, but it isn't handled in a single map.

Jim???

Glad I'm not the only one that has momentary lapses!

A discontinuous curve makes perfect sense too. I was just trying to explain why I didn't seem to lose any high PP/PRM power.

Had the chance to do a little wheelin the other day.... seems as though the infamous power reduction does not occur in 4LO. Hmmmm.

Well that one there might give Bill some more info on where the switch is in the program or module.

Good info.
