Friction between the brake pads and the wheel drum causes the build up of heat in the braking system. Use a lower gear when descending a steep hill.

Should the over drive be on when driving normally?
Yes. The only times you should not use overdrive is when towing, such as a heavier trailer, (this saves overworking your transmission), and when descending steep hills, (this saves your brakes some as the engine/transmission does some of the braking as well).

Do steep hills erode faster than gentle hills?
Steep Hill Erodes Faster. The Water Picks Up Speed And More Energy To Wear Away The Earth. Generally, hills will be steep because they are made of resistant rock; whereas gentle hills will have that shape because they are made of rock that is easily eroded. Hence steep hills will not necessarily erode faster than gentle ones. However, if a hill is steep because it has recently been formed by tectonic activity, and it comprises soft rock, it will erode faster than a more gentle hill of the same material.
