Here's the video I was referring to that demonstrates Chevy's exhaust brake as being the best performer. Also noteworthy I think the Ford and Ram are '14 models. We do know Fords exhaust brake capability for the '15 model has been improved while the Ram's exhaust brake capability has been the same since '13.

Yeah, that is kind of irrelevant since you don't know which mode the truck was in. From my experience of using Ram's auto mode and exhaust brake in general, it would have no problems keeping the speed with just 10k lbs on that hill IF it was in auto mode or in full mode and you manually downshifted. It is clear by how fast the truck was gaining speed that it was in full mode and in 6th gear which is when the exhaust brake is at its weakest. You can also clearly hear the GM truck they are in in higher rpms which means it had downshifted to make its exhaust brake stronger in order to hold speed.

Fish, I know you are just using this as an opportunity to go out of your way to piss on Cummins like you normally do in these forums, but if you honestly think that a pre-2015 Powerstroke without an exhaust brake and only using grade braking can hold speed better than a Cummins with an an exhaust brake in auto mode that is downshifting to hold speed as well then you are on crack my friend. The only way a pre-2015 Powerstroke that does not have an exhaust brake can outperform a Cummins with an exhaust brake in that test is if the Powerstoke was downshifting and using grade braking to slow the truck down while the Cummins was in full mode and stayed in 6th the whole way down which looks to be the case. If it was in auto mode or if you manually downshifted in full mode, then that Cummins could have slowed down to a crawl without touching the brakes with just 10k behind it if you wanted it to.

I know that since your truck is a pre-2015 without an exhaust brake that you are not that familiar with towing with an EB, but when you do get your a new SD with an exhaust brake or go out and actually use a Ram's exhaust brake(properly) towing 10k lbs down a hill then you will see how ludicrous that video actually is.

Shiner,
I have to disagree with you...

If this video sponsored by Chevy was using the Ram's settings in a unfair manner, I would expect Ram to perform their own test to show otherwise, but they didn't.

Yes the pre 2015 6.7 Powerstroke do have exhaust braking (your wrong), but is not as effective as the other brands.

I posted this older video that demonstrated the Chevy's exhaust braking performance being better than Ram since you were claiming foul play with the first video which may have been legitimate. The point is there has been two separate tests by different people that show the same results that doesn't support your position (perhaps your wrong again).

Your other comments is not worth my time to even respond to. :R
