" the Duramax should have mopped the floor with the Cummins on the last supper Ike test instead of being less than a 15 second difference."
The major reason for the close times both trucks were able to run most of the hill at the speed limit set by the test. So depending on the accuracy of the speedometers used and how close to the speed limit the driver held the trucks to could easily result in a 15 second difference in an 8 mile run.
We need to load the units such they are not able to obtain the speed limit imposed to find which can make the most power up the hill. If this can not be done find a steeper or longer hill for the tests.
