Zat_Zum, that's horrible. If you had a in-line thermostat failure of that magnitude I hope you filled a warranty claim. As ScoobieZ said flow should be constant to the transmission under all situation with a in-line thermostat (i mean, you can just google the diagrams), by design, unless some type of catastrophic failure happened; which would be either a manufacturing defect (warranty) or user error (instillation error, or foreign debris from transmission blocking thermostat/passageways/damaging thermostat).
I do think that regardless of the whats and whys the point being that failure is an option with these (as anything) should be considered. It gives an other check to the Earl's unit for the three sensor inputs; one of which could be exit pressure for those that wanted to know their tranny is always getting flow.
