Thanks again for the continued advice.
So I can assume that I will be OK to leave it in D (drive) as I crest the uphill part and begin the decent. It will already have the tow haul engaged. I always travel with it in tow haul as it changes the shift points and keeps the truck from going in and out of overdrive (6th gear) at every small grade or big overpass.

It also provides some engine brake when you hit the brakes going down hill.....you can hear the RPM increase and the transmission providing additional resistance to the downhill momentum.
