Digital Throttle and Shift - or fly-by-wire rather than heavy cables (my guess only)

As far as I am aware the DTS foot throttle is an option with the new Verado engines. They had a really smart one that have discontinued. The DTS (fly by wire) is the same as a Hot Foot but with and actuator bolted on the side, so nothing particularly trick.

do they have any shift protection to stop you wining it into reverse at high rpm?? or does the engine management cover that?

My Barrus rep told me not to bother with them!
