Test drove a Cummins last night.

I said BEST EXHAUST BRAKE, I did not say anything about the computer that controls the downshifting to maintain speed. Like I said place all of them in 4th gear set cruise at 55 and see what one is the slowest to the bottom. The Cummins has more retarding HP than the competition.

Yes gear ratio makes a huge difference.

So I guess we can all call your truck REALLY old now Troy? Heck my 2013 link seems rather new compared to your MY truck. OBTW I'm no fan boy like some other folks who own nothing but Fords, GM's, or their preferred brand.
Just giving out the facts in my PTC article. Ford rotors registered 1105 degrees, again do you have a answer that? You dodge that question every time. I post this same question and you bring up another useless Link every
time. Exactly who is out of date here, clearly the child in my books.

Let's see a test with real results!

Here you go. From the Pickuptrucks.com heavy duty challenge.
Eisenhower Pass
Davis Dam

On both challenges the Ram had more brake touches going down than the competition.

Thank you.

I saw a PTC test a couple of years ago for the Heavy duty towing in Colorado. Man those Ford rotors where like 1100F on the gun :E

On edit I had to look it up, I was 5 degrees off :W

How can you explain this graph mr Ford?

Nice posting of some old test Rick... How about posting results of the '15 trucks and include the Duramax while your at.

Yea they even admitted it was f-dup!

That particular test was a 0-60 mph test where the instrument malfunctioned but is irrelevant to the blind discussion here. The discussion here is a Chevrolet Duramax handed the cummins in a hill decent test plain and simple. This video simple proves the cummins does not have the best exhaust brake plain and simple.

BTW... A Duramax will spank a cummins 0-60mph loaded/unloaded.

Beautiful 1-ton, Bowhunter. Congrats. Any other details on the truck? Aisin? Long Bed? 4x4?

68FRE trans, long bed, Laramie. THought about the AISIN trans but for the amount of time we tow (4-5 times a year) I just didn't think it would make that much of a difference. If I was full timing then the decisions made would be different. That won't happen for another 10 years.

Nothing wrong with the 68RFE. 65K on my 11 HO Dually with the 3:42 gears. Towed a combined load of 28-30K, if it were going to break it would have with that abuse!

50K on AMZ/OIL, looks good in my opinion!

An aftermarket oil pan with an overpriced tranny fluid sure provides a vote of confidence in the factory setup for the 68. At 75k miles I still have the factory tranny fluid and oil pan. :W

Don't remember seeing a 30K RV behind your rig.

I would NEVER go 75K with the original fluid.

BTW the Video link was a complete waste of time!

I will go up against ANY GM or Ford 350/3500 Dually same weight same downhill grade. I guarantee they will make it to the bottom of the hill first!

Different gear ratios in your vid for one! For two let's place each rig in 4th gear set the cruise to 55 and see who makes it to the bottom first. NOT RAM

Spin it anyway you want Cummins has the most braking HP.

Responses to your ridiculous comments:
1. I don't tout my personal belongings/equipment on a public forum (including but not limited to your ridiculous no stop posting of a B&W hitch).
2. The transmission fluid in my truck is rated for a 150k OCI. Unlike your 30k OCI aisin.
3. You choose to watch the video that you wanted some information.
4. You can go against any F350/3500 I really don't care. Be careful you don't get your azz handed to you during the process. Ask me how I know!
5. All trucks in the same configuration offer different gear ratio's but if making excuses is your game... Game on!
6. The spin is the blind RAM mafia as usual! :W
