You can't EOC these trucks safely. No brake and no steering boost is insane. They have hydroboost systems, so key off = instant loss of braking and steering.
With my beetle it has an accumulator and I can get 6 good brake applications in before vacuum boost goes away.
As it turns out, EOC is a bust on these diesels anyway. Either it is coasting at miniscule idle fuel, or DFCO at no fueling.
As for that run, I let the cruise control do almost all the work.
I rolled off Snoqualmie and bumped the cruise up to 65 MPH.
The smarty touch can tell me requested CC speed, which is handy for testing. Pin the CC close to an excact MPH, it does not matter which one. One click up = 2 mph
one click down = 1 mph
Easy to set an exact speed.
