I could set the gain on my controller and lock the tires at will.  Obviously 
this is something you do not want to do but the disc brakes had the holding 
power to do so and the ability to stop my 2500hd at will.  I have had the 
electric brakes checked out on my '86 Sovereign and was curious to see if 
they would do the same thing with the same controller.  No dice.
