RAM 6.4 Ike Gauntlet

Very simple explanation as Ram uses a very different method of determining both HP and Torque and you should know this Mr. employee of FCA. That is why GM vehicles always have beaten both FCA and Ford vehicles with having lower HP and Torque advertised ratings and the head to head tests reveal how true this is as some manufacturer's use their ratings numbers just for feel good advertising.

If you don't have the same force applied to the road's surface for moving equal loads to an X velocity, the one supplying the lesser amoumt of force will always be behind! Got it?

Want to dispute this? Lets hear your wonderful explanation then. Mine is based on sound documented knowledge of the facts and backed by head to head testing results over and over. Your explanation, if you should choose to blowviate one, should be very interesting to say the least!

GM vehicles have always beaten Ford a Ram?

The only place the 6.0L beats the 6.4L is in the Ike which is only due to the 6.4L going into limp mode. If the 6.4L would not have gone into limp mode like it was programmed to, then I doubt the 6.0L would have had a quicker time.

As far as the difference in the type of SAE power methods, that is only for the diesels since it is Cummins who does that test for the 6.7L and not Ram. Cummins usees J1995 because the 6.7L is used in many different applications and Ram uses the same SAE J1349 certification method on the 6.4L that GM uses on the 6.0L as you can see in the link below.
