engine brake while towing?
OK, so just getting a feel for towing my 5er with the 2013 Ram Cummins. When tow enabled (heavy tow used with appropriate tire pressure) and engine brake on, going downhill after taking foot off gas ...

The pump and control valve are separate components with different functions.
Bingo! So when are you going to get that the pumps rpm does not control when a shift is delayed? Still too proud to admit when you are wrong?

When you put your finger over the end of a garden hose, you are increasing pressure at the expense of flow. As soon as you remove your finger, flow increases but pressure decreases. A pump cannot increase pressure and maintain the same flow unless it increases speed to pump more.
We are talking about line pressure. Flow is not an issue in what we are talking about(especially in the veins of a automatic transmission) so why are you bringing it up? Oh, that's right because you want to change the subject because you are still too proud to admit when you are wrong. That's okay, I can last for days and weeks doing this if you like.
Also, I thought you said that you were done on your last post?
Because flow is an issue. the pump doesn't just operate clutches, it is also responsible for lubricating and cooling the transmission. It feeds the torque converter and moves fluid through the cooler. That requires flow.
