Boosting power to pull straight, worked 1 or 2 times for me.
The 3rd time, i ended up in the ditch.
After that event, i used the trick of pumping the brakes (not gradually braking, just use short stomps on the pedal with 3 to 5 seconds interval) at least a dozen times. I never woke up in the emergency room.
I once wasted a trailer, hitch and bumper, and that was NOT because i hit the brakes, but because i did the opposite.
First thing i think, when noticing sway is: "how do i loose speed ?? "
