I changed over steering to manual and brake booster to electric for coasting (and elimination of engine belt drains).
(If I don't need power steering in my giant truck, nobody does)
But on long steep descents I really want to be able to engine brake to preserve the brakes.
This was easy for me, because I have a diesel.
The engine kill switch I already installed on the shifter cuts off the electric fuel pump. All I have to do is hold it down for as long as I want to engine brake. A couple jobs in the hills past couple days, used this feature a whole lot.
