Knowing what my EB can hold back, 35k on lets say 6-7% grade locked in 3rd I see no reason the 39k load with a stronger EB than mine can hold the load on the IKE locked in 2nd WITHOUT using the service brakes.
Choose one, fastest up the grade or slowest compared to best holding downhill or worst.
I agree a truck with a stronger engine brake than mine could hold back a 50,000 lb load on 10% grade.;)
I'm curious as to why tou think the newer Ram has a stronger exhaust brake than yours?
I thought I read the 19 and 20’s had an updated turbo. Also the braking HP you have mentioned I think is higher than mine.
