    Huge difference in loosing power unexpectedly.
    I don't agree with speed limiters or derate, but it's not a real comparison

    It was the best I can do. So losing power in a car is not ok to the decision makers for safety issues, but cutting power to an 80K semi is.

    But power isn't cut in the semi.... It's simply capped. Sorry if you can't see the difference.

    Yep, you are just ignorant that can't see the difference.
    And no, I'm not apologizing, I'm sorry you are too ignorant to even see that much.

    I think you might be the ignorant one here, but hey, it's all good. I'm not here to get upset with a computer screen. You have your opinion, I have mine, it's supposed to be that way in the good ole USA.

    We can do without the insults. Everybody just needs to just move on & cut out the bickering back & forth. I'm asking nicely... and includes future member comments in this thread.

    So the cables and connections may be deformed and damaged from arching. But we arn’t gonna fix that. We are just gonna do a software update. Lol!

    Actually some Ford’s back in the 1990s were known to “derate”(it was actually called “limp mode”) if there was a transmission fault (either mechanical or software) or if there was a engine problem (again,mechanical or software). Vehicle speeds would be reduced down to approximately 45-50 mph to prevent further damage but would give the vehicle enough speed to make it to a repair shop.
