Ram Cummins Vs GM Duramax Ike Gauntlet

The times up the hill have absolutely nothing to do with "most horsepower". The trucks were driven at the speed limit. Mr. Truck's right foot determined how long it would take for the truck to make the run. If one of the trucks had a speedometer that read 60 mph when the truck was actually travelling 61 mph and another truck had a speedometer that read 60 mph when the actual speed was 59.5 mph the difference in time up the 8 mile run (if Mr. Truck did a perfect job of holding the truck to an indicated speed of 60 mph) would be 12 seconds. The fuel economy was not accurately measured and is too close to call on the GM vs Ram test. GM should change their design for the tow hooks. I have not driven a GM lately but I am sure it is not too difficult to get the exhaust brake to work. If Mr Truck wanted to tell the truck to hold at 50 mph he should have used the cruise control. If he wanted to control the speed manually he should have controlled it manually.....likely just touching the throttle for less braking and releasing the throttle fully for more braking would have worked wonderfully.
