Hi Everette:
That system is mentioned in the story and how quickly you can jack knife
the truck going down a slippery slope in all wheel drive with a loaded
trailer and applying the wrong side rear brake in a turn.
Also interesting info on Power Wagon and a couple of other trucks with
military relations.
