    Having to keep spare parts sorta defeats the purpose of a new ride.

    Yeah but it's 2022 there's a lot going on in the world right now. If something did break, that would be pretty bad if the brand new truck sits for weeks over one or 2 truck parts. I could be wrong

    Which is exactly why I still drive my old truck. Every time I want to buy a new one, all my buddies with new trucks talk me out of it.

    The Volvos have a setting for auto for engine brake. I would be surprised if yours doesn't have that as well and maybe on setting?

    Push the shifter all the way “up”. There are 4 settings. Off, level 1,2,3. That’s assuming you have the endurant 12 speed auto in it.

    The downshifting alone does a pretty good job.

    I have a 13 speed on the steering wheel and engine break is on off position . The truck doesnt cruise how its supposed to when you take your foot of the pedal . It starts slowing down and i can hear the jakes while the screen shows jake is off and the switch is in off position too.the jakes are very light though .

    I got that adaptive cruise control,if a vehicle is in the radar range my engine brake will come on lightly to get more distance between us.
