2500 Chevy Duramax vs 2500 Ram Cummins on the Ike Gauntlet
Good to see some Ike Gauntlet pulls again and no surprise the Ram performed better than the Chevy in braking performance and fuel economy. Link

My take is with this small camper the 6 speed/Cummins combo was a good fit. Go to 30k lbs and I believe you'll see a different outcome or different varying size slopes/hills.
The inline 6 does JUST FINE with the 6 speed. Higher revving V8 diesels may do better with more gears.
High revving V8 diesels??
The Durmax makes it peak Horsepower of 445 at 2800 rpm The same rpm that the Cummins makes 420 peak Horsepower. And the ford makes its peak horsepower of 475 at 2600 rpm.
What is their red lines???
