Sometimes the lack of engine braking in a Diesel becomes quite a PITA. BTW what is DFCO?




It's quite surprising the thermostat wouldn't open fully. Not sure if that might be related to the emission controls, most noticeably the DPF regen which requires higher temperatures to work properly.


With a diesel one runs in a gear lower than required. Higher revs. Initiates slowing before moving to use service brake. Fact of life. Bad habit to do otherwise (Meaning the stunt of FE isn’t justified as bad habit more than offsets it).
