does any one know if these trucks have an engine break of sorts... when i let off the gas it almost feels as my frieghtliner at work does when i got the jake turned on.. it bogs down before i press the brake peddle.
that being said it is in D and not on manual shift in a low gear
I wish mine did that, theres absolutely no engine braking on mine when I let off the gas. Actually I've never had a vehicle that coasts as freely as this truck does. I've heard this engine braking thing from other 2010-11 owners as well so maybe they programmed it into the later trucks. Mine is an early build 09.
hmmm tow wasnt on and i did notice the eco light on wonder if its related thx at least i know its not just mine its just kinda weird i expect it in the work truck when i have it turned on but has me a little worried in the ram
mine does not unless in tow/haul mode. When in "D", non cruise control, the truck likes to coast going down hills. I either have to use brakes, t/h mode, or downshift out of "D" to reduce/maintain speed.
