Momentum isn't a problem going down a hill... My question is how come the DFCO turns off while still engine braking? I'll be watching the ScanGuage and it will just change from 9999 to ~60mpg after a minute or two. I have to alternate between engine-on coasting and no-fuel engine braking while on long descents. It's like the Ford engineers in Michigan couldn't conceive of the hills we have here in Colorado. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to change it?
