Ive got a 97 2wd 5.4 l and lately ive noticed when taking my foot off the gas it seems like the vehicle is kinda slowing itself. It used to roll freely but now seems like somethings slowing it down. There is 138k on it. Thanx for any ideas.

One thing that comes to mind is you might have a hung up or "frozen" brake caliper thats semi rubbing on the discs which will cause un even wear in the brake pads and also will cause the truck to slow down when your foot is off the gas.
