The ecm wasn’t programmed to allow much manual control. It was a Ryder POS and you could put in manual mode all day long and it still would over ride your input.

Yeah, I spent 6 months in a new Freightliner identical to my last new Freightliner and kept trying the exact thing the book said to do, which worked in the last truck, only to learn it was turned off in the ECM and NOBODY in the company understood what I was asking them to turn on, so they said "we can't do that" even though they have dozens or hundreds of trucks with the setting turned on. 99% of the world is lucky to notice there is a sun in the sky, but they know every boyfriend of some garden tool on TV.

It's programmed and there ain't nothing to make it work decent.
A manual can run circles around what I've got.
At one point and time it actually had an improvement. i could have been happy. But the clutch was slipping so the shop put it back.
My non Volvo had fairly new rubber but because it was empty. It spun out. All 4 axles.LTL Bull Thanks this. -
It either moves or it don't.
Hammer down makes no difference in acceleration. Light throttle isn't even recognized.
All i can do is push the gas. It does whatever the F it wants.LTL Bull Thanks this. -
