When I am driving and coasting no foot on the gas it seems that something is slowing down the VX. What could it be? Anyone else experience this? What did you do?

"What could it be?"
Gravity
Actually, I've noticed at times that mine does that too. I've never tried to troubleshoot tho since it's intermittent.
Try pulling each wheel & make sure there isn't something going on with the brakes (stuck caliper, stone stuck between rotor & caliper, ...). Check your parking brake too.
Check your fluids: front & rear diffs, Tcase, Tranny.
Lube your U-joints.
Check tire pressure.
Those are the easy things. If it's something more complicated - Ida know.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

I ruled out gravity it is when I am coasting going down hill so gravity would give an assist. I shall endeavour to investigate the proposals you otherwise pontificated the fortnight.

Sorry - forgot to put a smiley after the 'gravity' comment.
Have you checked your bearings? Grab the top of the front tire & pull/push. If there's any play then your bearings are bad.

Thanks I
will check on that

One easy way to check if it's a brake caliper dragging is to just put a hand on each rim after driving to feel if they're warm. Even driving a block or two would probably be enough. Dragging brake pads, or a semi-locked caliper, will generate a lot of heat, and it usually doesn't take long for that heat to get transfered to an aluminum rim.
