To measure how much better the Cummins exhaust brake is as compared to my Ford here is a test you can perform. I took my truck out and timed how long it took for the exhaust brake to slow the truck from 56 mph to 28 mph and it was 10.7 seconds. I used 56 mph to 28 because 56 mph put me at about 3000 rpm. You have different gear ratios so you'll probably want to go from 52 mph down to 24 mph. I could have clocked it using a higher engine speed because the Ford doesn't redline till 3600 but I thought I would give the Ram a chance;)
