2015 Chevy 3500 vs Ford 350 diesels

Big difference.
Thats not enough of a difference IMO... The ford probably had lower gears like 3:73's The chevy maybe had 3:42's
This is what you need to find out...
Actually, it's exactly the opposite. The Duramax can only be had with 3.73s no matter the truck's cab or wheel configuration. The Fords are only available in 3.31 or 3.55 in a SRW truck. Ram is 3.42 in SRW.
Fords in recent years have throttle calibrations that are much less relaxed than GM's in my experience.
