Are you going to the zoo or anything like that?

You should go to the Bronx and Queens, just for giggles.

I bet you can brake torque it to get it going. Thats a lot of friction to overcome back there.

Post pics!

Probably not on this trip Tim. We will be heading to the 9/11 museum and memorial. Will try and get to parts of central park as well.

One issue is the torque management is designed to not allow the wheels to spin, especially on a dually.

I sure will Tim. I wont be taking the big DSLR with me. But I will be picking up a small point and shoot to take. Figure if the point and shoot gets lost I can part with that alot easier then a 600 buck DSLR plus lenses. ANd one less bag to take.

True. Crime in NYC is sky high. They will try and steal your shoes if they can.

That they will Tim. A smaller point and shoot I can tuck into a pocket is a good thing.

All of those wonderful sensors that allow your engine to operate so well also supply the inputs that allow TM to function. The PCM calculates the "Delivered Engine Torque" based on numerous inputs. The PCM then retards ignition timing to reduce engine torque by a predetermined percentage based on the engine's torque output.

Basically if you have wheel spin, the computer cuts power to stop the wheel spin. You can override and reduce torque management with a tuner.

Some cars can defeat it with a button in the car, usually sports cars like Mustangs. I dont think the Super duty has it.
