Patented engine-torque traction control delivers precision handling
The 2008 Super Duty is the only vehicle in its class to utilize a sophisticated type of patented engine torque traction control on all diesel models. While most competitors use brakes to manage torque, Super Duty’s state-of-the-art diesel uses engine torque to manage wheel spin. Super Duty’s system computes wheel speed from the differential and reduces torque to match the best traction to the wheels for that terrain. The system works in 4x2 only and offers the option of shutting it off when it's not needed

I'm curious how you did not know you didn't have this before you actually singed the deal on the truck??? I've got a feeling you may take a hit because of that. Yea, you're right, it does say "all diesels", but still. I'd say think about just how bad you want it because this is probably going to be a long, stressful journey for you. Don't get your hopes up that you're gonna walk in there any they say "sure...my bad! Pull it on the shop and let us fix that for ya!!!" I'd say 90% of the trucks I've looked at while shopping (and there's been a few) do not have traction control.
