Just felt like sharing...the other day driving with windows partly down (and before my exhaust change) I heard the e-Torque lay down a 3rd gear scratch. The revs dropped as the truck shifted from 2nd to 3rd and I could hear a little scratch on the shift. Loved it.

I guess you could comment on the power that the e-torque system is delivering during shifts...or the fact that the Goodyear OEM tires are that slippery.

I didnt think Etorque was used in situations like that.

I was under the impression the power from Etorque was only used when taking off from a dead stop.

So im in for someone to correct me if im wrong.

several people have posted videos from FCA where the engineer describes the torque provides power during shifts up to highway speeds to make shifts smoother.
