From the video it is obvious that the Ram used wheel brakes regardless of whether it was set to adaptive cruise or normal cruise.

No it is not. Didn't see any brake lights or any other indication that the truck used the vehicle brakes to slow down or maintain speed.

And Fish was talking about excuses from the Ram guys.....

I could care less which brand we're talking about. When I first realized my Ford was applying wheel brakes to control my speed of descent it bothered me and I was every bit as eager to point it out to people on the Forum. Now that I have gained a little bit of experience with it, I understand it a little better and have become quite fond of the system. Based on TFLs video I can see the Ram system works very similar to the Ford. I think I know the Ford system well even though I still don't know exactly how it works. I know that when set to auto EB the set point is determined by when the accelerator or brake pedal was last released. I know that as the truck starts to accelerate the wheel brakes are applied before the transmission downshift. The brake application triggers the down shift. I know it applies the truck and trailer brakes but what I don't know is when. I don't know if it is based on a certain speed increase over the set point or is it based on engine rpm. I don't go down long steep grades often enough to play with it.

Yes, but saying that the Ram applied the brakes in that test is a theory. The brake lights never came on in the long rear end shots they had of the Ram and there is no other evidence other than assumption that it did. As with many components on Cummins and Powerstroke, they are not the same so you can't just say that if the Ford does it then the Ram has to do it too as evidence.
