If you are talking about pure stock then the Duramax most likely will win. Simple reason more horsepower in stock form.
But look at the numbers Ford and Ram are claiming on 2015 models. THey are higher than the current Dmax 397HP/765TQ. Which begs the question how they are getting those numbers?
Probably the same way they got bigger numbers back in 2011.. The Dmax was dyno tested under strict SAE standards. The other two... NOT.
Think about the difference between peak and continuous ratings... BTW, The Dmax power numbers is the same as it was back in 2011.
The original torque numbers on the '11 Power Stroke was pretty much flat lined almost across the full operating range. Some of the problem with the Power Stroke was the power produced at high elevations.
