No gasser goes down a step mountain with a heavy load like a diesel with an exhaust brake.
I will never forget my shock the first day I took my 855 CID diesel to work to replace the 427 GMC spark plug motor. Everybody I worked with was running diesel, so I expected to climb hills faster. What surprised me was the lack of compression braking.
I would still like to see side by each comparison, equal weights, displacement, gears, and wind resistance, diesel with exhaust brake to closed throttle on gas engine.
