Has anyone else noticed a drag or pull when just cruising or coasting at moderate speeds??  In other words, you are either coasting or just using a bit of throttle and it seems like something is dragging or trying to pull you down??

The dealer looked at it and basically told me it was in my head.

As soon as you add some moderate throttle it goes away.  Almost like the front and rear diffs are fighting against another.

Hmmm...gravity...friction...wind resistance...just kidding....lol..but seriously, maybe what your describing is the same thing i have noticed. I sometimes notice something that feels like its slowing you down for just a second or 2. I have noticed it when I'm coasting downhill or sometimes when the cruise control is on....I think what I'm sensing is a downshift...is almost imperceptable...hope its not a tranny problem....GL

I have had the same thing happen to me especially coasting downhill. The first time it happened it worried me allittle, but maybe the fifth time I barely applied the brake for about 3secs and it felt like something just unlocked. The Allison 6 speed automatics have close to the same symptoms.
