Ford 7.3 engine users?

I do not think much of TFLs exhaust brake reviews.
They have a narrow set of "rules" for it. If the truck doesn't fare well under their rules, it gets a bad score...The do not read the manuals to see how each trucks EB is setup to work. One can quibble about not liking how a trucks EB is setup to work, but they should not be penalizing such trucks for poor perfarmance, when if operated according to their manuals the results are fine.
Agree 100%. It's a baseline at best. It at least shows that the 7.3 with engine braking easily shows it mangaging 16,000 lbs going downhill. I'm sure real world use with T/H and possibly manual shifting would fare better.
