Re: 1999 Chevy Suburban won't slow down.

It should not do that in manual D

The overrun clutch locks the forward sprag to give you engine breaking on the D range.

Drive highway speeds and pull the shifter down into 'D'. You should feel the deceleration. If it coast I would say the sprag is starting to go bad. If the sprag completely lets go you wouldn't be able to move forward from a stop but you could back up.
