In regards to the exhaust brake, I am not surprised that he says that the Cummins exhaust brake is better than even his new 2020 though. It appears that he is not the only one to think that.
I was watching his videos a while back when he was evaluating a Ram HD truck but ultimately he felt the new Ford was overall a better performing truck like others have reported.
No doubt with the conservative tuning on the Cummins that doesn't change much in cold or hot temps like some other engines seam to do. I was just commenting on how he said it had a better exhaust brake which was a hot topic on the last Ike thread.
But as I said before, I'd rather do my tuning to my specific needs after I get my truck. The stock tuning is very conservative and meant to keep the engine cool towing 30k which I don't even tow half that. I can crank it up another 75-100hp without getting anywhere near dangerous numbers towing the 14k that I tow. Heck, I doubt the Cummins gets to dangerous numbers towing 30k on the stock numbers, but that is the mindset of Cummins. They would rather be reliable than a hot rod.
