Running the RAM on different days may or may not help it. They should have waited to do all three at the same time.
With the RAM VS GM towing the same 16k and basically having the same times makes no sense to me. The GM should have smoked the RAM because the RAM had 6 tires and more weight to pull and the GM was lighter and had the be all 10 speed FAUX Allison.
The GM should have beat the Ford up the hill in this test. At 2600 rpm, which is typically where the Duramax was running, it should have made more power than the Powerstroke could running at the 2200 rpm it ran at.
Even with the Ford running such low rpm I don't think the Ram will make the run in 10:20, but I do think it will beat the GM.
