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.

Bring back Windows™ XP and 7.
Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$!
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying!
Windows™ 11 is garbage!

Much to my surprise, I'm actually quite enjoying Linux!
