No, but if you're doing it by pushing in the clutch, you'll burn the clutch out.
Because it's more fun.
Coasting requires you to put the gear into neutral and let the car freewheel down the hill. If you came to a bend on the hill and someone was speeding up the hill, you may not have enough time to react and slam on the brakes, or slow down. When you aren't in gear, you have less control of your car, as opposed to if you was in gear. E.g. If you were in gear and slammed on the brakes, your car would stall, jerk you forward and stop, however because you aren't in gear, your car won't stop rolling.(It's why you can push your car when it's out of gear, but you can't push it when it's in gear).
It depends on what you mean by slowing down....and how steep the hill is. It's a 5400 lb vehicle running with a 4.6 or 5.4 liter engine.
Drive it down a hill.
The engine size should not matter when going down a hill, as long as you dont put it in too low of a gear and over rev your engine.
is the engine oil low? maybe its flowing to the back of the sump and away from the pick up when you go up the steep hill.
i whent down the hill.
If there is snow on the hill a sled or toboggan can be used to ride down a hill.
Don't leave the engine on. Set the parking brake and turn the wheels toward the curb.
The engine doesn't have to use as much fuel when the car is traveling downhill.
Goin' Down Hill was created in 1983.
if there is friction on the hill it will slow you down
