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 ...

Never said there was the same pressure throughout the transmission. The maximum pressure in the transmission is determined by the capacity of the pump and the demand being put on it. A valve cannot increase that pressure, it can only reduce it.
Really? So if take a garden hose that you say has 100 psi pressure coming out of it and attach a nozzle(aka valve) on it that reduces the opening size then it will not increase output pressure going? Isn't that not increasing the output pressure with a valve? So how can you say that a valve cannot increase output pressure going to the various systems of a transmission?

No, it does not increase the pressure, it increases the velocity. If you attached another hose to the end of that nozzle and put a pressure gauge immediately downstream, the pressure would be lower. If you blocked that hose, the pressure would be the same on both sides of the nozzle.
