Created a dangerous situation.

So the e-torque is a small 13ish horsepower alternator/motor thats on the front of the engine, if the truck needs power/needs to get started that alternator kicks on and spins the engine and accessories up. So i haven't noticed any lack of PS, i do notice when the compressor kicks off during the summer, but the engine will kick on for the compressor automatically if the AC calls for it.
