    Yes and no. It depends on few things. Originally when I cruised at 65 and went down hill itd go to neutral to save fuel but it wouldn't shift down to 9 to kick on the engine brakes until 71 or 72 sometimes getting me extremely close ton75. I went to Joplin and the shop was able to adjust it. My truck still neutrals from 65-68 but on the upper speed of 68 it down shifts to 9 and the engine break tries to keep me at 68 or below 69 and I meant my cfi ring. New phone . The keyboard keeps correcting to weird things.

    Yeah I hit 74 a few times and had to hit the breaks pretty hard because the engine breaks weren't kicking on fast enough. The weird thing is is that my truck supposedly engine breaks were already set to kick on at 69 but there's another setting in the system that allows a delay I think it was before they actually kick on. That's the setting they had to change to fix it. Remember that for when you take the truck to the shop. He made my delay almost instant.
