Looks like the Chevy still outperforms the Ram on the time up the Gauntlet and more importantly outperforms in exhaust brake performance too. Link

Cute video, using exhaust to snuff out the combustion process. Wouldn't you just shut fuel off the to cylinders? LOL! Obviously a video made to entertain people like you.
Inside look at the 6.7 Scorpion
I'll save you the trouble of reading the whole article, here is the paragraph that explains the reasons behind the upgraded turbo charger... You guessed it, better exhaust braking performance.
With the improvements to the turbocharger and exhaust, Ford is now able to increase engine braking. The previous generation had some but it was rather limited due to the concern of overspinning the turbocharger.
HUH!?! We were talking about how the 2011-14 Powerstrokes didn't have an exhaust brake and I instead had an engine brake and you post an article about a 2015 Powerstroke when they changed the turbo to add an exhaust brake. That makes no sense. Also, the video posted was directly from Ford showing how their in engine brake in their 2011-2014 Powerstrokes (you know, the ones we were talking about) worked while yor atticle is about the new 2015 Powerstroke (the one we weren't talking about) so......
