2016 Silverado 3500 - Ike Gauntlet Pull
Looks like the Chevy still outperforms the Ram on the time up the Gauntlet and more importantly outperforms in exhaust brake performance too. Link

Hitting "RED LINE" without throttle fueling is not as big of a drama as some make it out to be. Todays vehicles will not let you destroy the engine from over red line down hill. It will merely upshift if above certain parameters.
My red line is 2200 but throw on the EB it will downshift to 2500 for maximum braking and very quickly be down below the 2200 mark. Soon after another downshift and again another 2500.
Even my previous 06 Ram with the Jacobs had much better braking running in the high RPM area.
I agree though, the FLT crew tests these trucks like my mom is going to drive it at 11000' elevation :W So it would be a fair test unless your driving skills a far superior to the average Joe.
I personelly think all three aren't going to get much more power without some kine of displacement down the road :B
