slowing down... down hills... does yours do this?
I have been noticing that lately my truck slows down when going down inclines when brakes are not being applied. The truck has a automatic transmission, and the rest is listed in my signature.
I kind of feel like there is still something with the rear brakes, but I cannot pin point it, everything is installed correctly, and is new.
I have noticed that besides on crazy steep hills that you really have to lay on the brakes to just live, on any other declines the truck seems to never gain any speed down hills....
Is this just myself going crazy at this point, or is this just my truck?
I just feel like it used to coast much better. When I let off the gas at all it begins to slow down quickly... like I am applying the brakes almost. My girlfriend said that it feels like i'm braking when i'm not. So i'm going to think its just my truck, and something is wrong... any insight would be great!
It quickly drops when above 80 to around 50 then slows down less.

the brakes are backed all the way off in the rear, the parking brakes disconnected.
New wheel cylinders, new springs, new self adjuster parts, new shoes, new drums.
New pads, mounting brakets, hardware, calipers, and rotors in the front.
I have noticed that the wear on the shoes are not at full contact it seems that the middle section of the shoes are not touched but the top of the primary shoe is almost glazing.

My truck has this exact problem. When it had the stock tune it was not noticeable. Since I have been tuning it I sometimes get a transmission braking effect when I let off the gas going down the hill. I think this is because I keep the TC locked too long. It could also be because I greatly sped up the speed in which the injecyors shut off when coasting,,,
I'll fool around with it more after I go for inspection.

I just filled up again, I am getting 16.7 mpg.... i will fill up again in a day or two to see what I am getting. There was alot of up and down speed the last few days feeling for this tricky vibration/shaking that I am having a problem with. I live where it is mainly highways at 55 and 65 mpg.
I got 283 miles to a tank of fuel before the light came on... I usually see 340-400 miles per tank.
