If the M1a is new, send it back to Broadway. The engine is advertised as DCC ready, so it should not be giving you this problem. If you mess with it too much, they may say you've voided the warranty... Quit while you are ahead on this one! 
Yes, power trucks can be a problem. I have a Lambert Brass railbus that has the wheel wipers/power pickups integrated with the motor brushes, and it's almost impossible to isolate the motor because of the miniscule distance between the wheel and the motor.
