any other ideas this one even throws the guy at the dealerships service department. well as an experiment id disconnect the speed sensor. i think on your truck its in the tailshaft of the transmission rather than on the rear differential but look in both places for a two-wire connector. disconnect it your speedometer will stop working and do your downhill coast again. this will determine whether its an electrical or mechanical problem youre chasing because without the speed sensor the computer has no way of knowing if youre coasting or sitting still. .

what kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing im considering selling the f350 since i am no longer living in the country and no longer have a call for it. im thinking of replacing it with a 4cyl or 4.0l 6 cyl wrangler depending on mileage reports. -- chris my grandcritters mommy has a 01 wrangler automatic and 4 cyl and it does about 18-19-20 mpg just driving around. i dont think shes ever had it on the highway to check it. most of the 6 cyls that i know about get about 14-15 mpg. denny .
