Default How well does your truck coast?

Just wondering how well everyones truck coasts on the hwy when your in O.D.?

Mine feels like the breaks are on slightly. Im going to get the truck onto jack stands tomorrow to see what the problem is but im just curious. It never has coasted that well

Mine just cruises, sailing along like it's on a ballistic trajectory.

You mean when you let off the gas?
Mine coasts as well as you would expect with oversize tires, plenty of air space underneath and a sail-like front end.

Or do you mean when you're maintaining speed with the go pedal? In that case it does it pretty good since I changed the gear ratio.

The 96 coasts a lot better than the 87.
