Don't ever descend a grade in neutral. You have no control, plus the tranny isn't getting lubricated.

Tranny is the transmission, that which is between the engine and rear end. It has gears and fluid.

No opinions, just the facts:

Coasting in neutral is illegal (even in cars...engines may stall out on cars and you may not be able to get a truck back into gear, meaning in an emergency you only have the airbrakes), does not save fuel, is extremely dangerous.

And your friend is an idiot. Lose the idiot friends and you live longer.
