ESC Electronic Stability Control?

Slightly off topic, the newer Medium duty trucks I use daily, all have ridiculous TM as well. Even empty they basically don't move in first gear, slightly better in second, little more in 3rd. Almost been T-boned a few times when they derated near curves like you mentioned. 466 Maxxforce, the new L10 from Cummins, all infront of Allisons and the power is limited through all gears, more so at low speeds/gears. Our older 466 that is gone now was old enough not to have TM but made less power. It ran circles around new stuff with more power.
If you are looking at 2013ish trucks, make sure it has the AS69RC and not the AS68RC. That is about when they make the switch and i've heard rumors that some '13s might have the 68 in them. The 68 is a POS from what I have read/seen.
