I tried that too with the GMC but nothing happens, at least you have the auto function which works better with cruise. Thanks for sharing bro 👍🏾

Thanks bro 👍🏾

Thanks, when I lived in MD, guys would always know where I was at lol! Pretty cool how these videos reach 👍🏾

Thanks Dennis 👍🏾

Thanks Eric, I figured that 6 speed is doing some aggressive downshifting due to less gears. I did do a test on a 6 spd Allison, I just forgot because it was awhile ago 👍🏾

I have a 2016 Duramax with 6 speed Allison as well and I don’t use it because it is too strong unless I am in heavy traffic and might need to stop quickly due to someone pulling out in front of me.

I have a 2019 3500hd L5P. Just did A 5200 mile road trip. Average for the trip was 8.3mpg. 25,500 gvw, 16000 trailer weight. 40’ momentum 5th wheel.

@@kdawg9117 Great information, thanks! We are looking at a Grand Design Reflection, 311BHS, I think the unloaded weight is around 12.5k and it is a little shorter in height than your Momentum, so I am thinking maybe we'll get somewhere around 9.5 mpg on a trip.

Thanks David, Actually this video is about 2 weeks old, that fuel station is just in a prime location so it was a little more expensive. Costco has great diesel and it’s about a $1 cheaper. Yea fuel cost is something of a mystery but when they switch the diesel supply to winter blend, it does run low for a little bit. Thanks again bro 👍🏾👍🏾

@JB_Review What do you have?

My 03 with 5 spd Allison is same

Thanks for sharing this, lesser gears may help but the V8’s have more RPM which is probably another factor 👍🏾

Average speed on highway was between 65-72

That’s great mileage with the 6spd, I bet if you had more gears you may have ran closer to 9 MPG. The Duramax is strong and has great low end tq but the 10spd does keep the RPM’s low which makes the exhaust brake weak 👍🏾

I’ve thought about it but I won’t have this truck long enough for it to make sense, thanks for sharing 👍🏾👍🏾

Yup, I guess I could pick up another mile if I slowed down… nah ain’t worth it 🤘🏾🇺🇸💪🏾

@@JB_WhoWork 😂🤘

Thanks!

Well this trucks gearing makes a whirl of a difference compared to Ram and the extra gears just add on to what makes it better. Just wait until my next towing video with this truck, I think I will give GM the Accolades it may deserve 😜. Btw the Firestones have good stability, they will just wear out in about 20k miles if you tow a lot 👍🏾

Let’s get together bro! 10speed Vs 6 speed 👍🏾

@@JB_WhoWork I'm ready when you are, just let me know 👍

Email me, if you go on a desktop and go to my about page, you will find it 👍🏾

@@JB_WhoWork I'll look for it later today.

Man the gearing in these trucks are great, you never hear about Duallies getting that kind of fuel mileage! Thanks for sharing this 👍🏾

Me too, my dealer aired my tires down when I went to the dealer last 👍🏾

I’m thinking about a Banks outfit when my warranty expires. I hate the lag so much, but I don’t want to get stoopid and start throwing codes, I hear the Banks throws none.

I’ve thought about it but I won’t have this truck long enough for it to matter. The interior grows on you, super easy to use and functional 👍🏾

@@garysarratt1 the banks is a awesome setup we’ve been using it in a 2021 Chevy 3500 Dually for a little over a year and 30,000 miles no glitches or issues at all but when you romp on it in high tune levels it will drink the DEF fluid but normal driving in the tow tune is we’re we leave it you’ll gain 60hp and 80-100TQ. But the truck just drives so much better and much more responsive also we gained about 2mpg but we usually drive pretty quickly on the Pennsylvania turnpike 80mph and constantly are going up and down mountains and curves. Overall I Highly recommend the Banks Tuner

Does your truck have the 3.31 rear? That may make a difference for MPG but that’s great mileage. Best I ever got in my RAM was about 11 MPG’s 👍🏾

@@JB_WhoWork 3.55 rear end. I'm not entirely sure the difference in mileage between the two. They seem close in ratio. Also, there is so many factors in traveling. Traffic, headwind, rain, cross wind, tail wind and climbing or decent. I think 11 is great for the Ram. Had a 2019 myself, but didn't tow much with it. Still, I would recommend the Timbers for your GMC to help with that cross wind body roll.

Thanks for sharing, the Cummins gets better with time and 9.8MPG is great running 4:10’s. My 23 has a Denso fuel pump which is 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Shouldnt have a bought an unfinished truck... certaintly you didnt pay full price, right? Rightttt?

Maybe this 👉 🍌 helps you feel better..?

@@JackWorkz whatever tough guy. Go back to driving your pinto

@@omardevonlittle3817 It was a GM buy back of my 5.3L (lifters). Should have abandoned the brand but I’m sold on the L5P

@Matt Bram 😮

If I never owned a RAM, I wouldn’t have thought anything of it but I’ve tested many GM/Fords and they pretty much all operate the same 👍🏾

You may be on to something, the V8 design may be something else to consider because the rpms are lower on the Cummins which makes it spin sooner compared to the other 2… I think I said that correctly 👍🏾

Thanks, the sensor I found online look like mine: www.shopchevyparts.com/wheels/2023-silverado-3500-trailering-tire-pressure-monitor-sensors-tpms-set/86803857-p-92323744.html Hope this helps!

@@JB_WhoWork thanks for the info!

My truck was optioned with them but they look the same 👍🏾

Saw several videos with guys testing the GM, Ford and Ram towing with EB on steep grades, pretty much everyone says the GM and Ford EB are lacking.

@Chris M well i dont know exactly what people expect. Maybe buy a semi truck, then 🤷‍♂️.. im just happy to have one at all, and I often find myself throttling out of it. I guess people always have to find something to complain about

@@JackWorkz - They just look at it wondering why GM & Ford can't match the Ram EB. I towed horse trailers all over the NC, TN and VA mountains for several years with my previous Dodge diesel trucks, EB wasn't necessary but sure would have been helpful and safer. I saw trucks towing heavy down Black Mountain in NC without exhaust brake and made the mistake stopping "to let the brakes cool" after they got too hot, next thing you see is the truck on fire.

@@chrism2042 v8 vs inline.. simple

@@JackWorkz simple and simply not. I believe that the Cummins uses a "Jake brake" within the valves (just like a semi), and GM uses the turbo veins to force exhaust braking. I get your point, however, I'm pretty sure it's not just as simple as "I" vs "V". I could be wrong?

I run 80 PSI all the time and have never had uneven wear. That’s what the tire manufacture calls for 👍🏾

@@JB_WhoWork the psi on the tire is for max load on the sidewall.

I have a 23 chevrolet diaper max. Run the fronts at the recommended 60 and the rears I run lower at 70 lbs. Rides better and tires wear great. If I am pulling my 40 ft gooseneck loaded heavy then I bump them up to 80lbs.

I agree with the card. If he had one at today’s prices, he’d be saving over two dollars a gallon.

I have had the card for a couple years now. It is great when traveling you can pull into the truck lanes and fill up and not have to go into the store if you do not want to. I would suggest opening a second checking account to tie the card to for security reasons. When traveling, I move money into the checking account when needed. I just looked up fuel prices in his area on the app and he would be saving just over two dollars a gallon.

That's a lot when we start traveling I'm going to look into it, does it help you locally

@@js4455dl I live in the Chicagoland area I have loves, TA and speedway truckstops around me. The biggest saver are the speedways. You always want to look at the app and be sure you’re going to a truckstop that is on the app. And you have to go through the truck lanes to use the card.

Ya need to run the exhaust brake as much as possible. It helps to keep the vgt from sticking. It allows to veins to move more.

You may be right, I’m just use to turning it on and allowing the truck to work it’s magic. RAM is magic in this department but I just have to adjust how I tow. I’m used to turning cruise off and letting the truck gradually slow me down then tap the brakes and watch the truck literally stop with little to no effort from me. The I6 design and 6 speed may be why the Cummins does so well with towing. 80 PSI’s did the trick for me for stability 👍🏾

@@JB_WhoWork yes the ram exhaust brake will flat stop the truck without using the truck brakes. More the load pushes the harder that it comes on. I’ve always said ford and gm have a long way to go with their exhaust brakes to compete.

Lol! They were just ready to pull up to the new house 😂

Thanks Bruce and I agree, I ride unloaded at max psi 🤘🏾

What’s crazy is they have higher axle ratios lol

The front ends hold up well. Only frontends we have had trouble with has been ram.

It will reset after 1 hour of the truck being off.

@@djclarke23605 That’s good to know, thank you sir.

I added the TPMS sensor that came with my GMC to the tires: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftqffN1mndTUfXU.html

@@JB_WhoWork thanks so much!!!

True, as long as I’m not in traffic or in inclement weather, I try to run with the pace of traffic 👍🏾

That’s all it needs is two more gears 👍🏾

GM has a built in TPMS setting with Pro Trailering. HD trucks come with TPMS sensors in the glove box when bought brand new.

@@djclarke23605 awesome thank you !!

That’s pretty dang good!

Thanks, I think the mine went off at the gas station which is why o mentioned it 👍🏾

Well, longer than my RAM 😅

Well on the HWY with moderate traffic I like it to slow me down a little earlier when I see brake lights ahead. It is faster, but the tq curve in the Cummins seems more linear and the lower gearing out back does help a good bit 👍🏾

The only reason is your ignorance! Best design for a work/towing vehicle. Ask the majority of Hotshots out there.

@@ronpage101 Ask who?? I own and operate a transportation company that is running 11 hotshots and 15 class 8 semi tractor trailers so who the hell do I need to ask. Since you are showing your ignorance maybe you need to be educated. The duramax Allison combo is the best I've found for my business as for what it costs cents per mile to operate ( that includes mantiance fuel mileage and cost of vehicle) now the Ford powerstroke comes in a close 2nd by only about 4.3 cents per mile more to operate the fuel mileage is real close between the duramax and powerstroke but mantiance cost on the powerstroke makes the Ford higher to operate. The ram cummins will cost you about 13.6 cents per mile more ( the reliability the mantiance and the fuel mileage) is what makes that big of a difference. Now take that cents per mile multiple by 80000 to 100000 miles per yr per truck and then tell me how great that cumapart is or how much extra money your spending that adds up to sizeable amount of money if you can count that high because of your ignorance. Now as for class 8 semi the cummins n14 and the isx both will cost more for mantiance and the isx is very unreliable plus the fuel mileage is terrible mantiance cost on the n14 is not as bad as the isx but isx is unbelievable on mantiance cost per mile. Stay with detroit diesel or caterpillar. If talking new trucks go with detroit or paccar both are cheaper on cents per mile to operate . But each his own buy what you want in what color you want it's your money but as for my business the less money I spend on operating costs the more money me and my drivers make plus I haven't had one driver complain about driving an chevy ltz option out truck with the duramax Allison combo nor have I had one complain about driving a classic xl freightliner 379exhd peterbilt or w900l kenworth running detroits and caterpillar engines. So believe what you want but quit showing your ignorance and actually put a calculator or pencil and paper or maybe you need to take your shoes off to use you toes to count that high and figure out the cost per mile to operate that truck whatever brand it is. Thats what people do that operate a business using all sorts of equipment including trucks. Your there to provide a service and make money not just to drive a truck just because it has this or that motor. But like I said to each his or her own it's your money buy what you want but don't tell me or call me ignorant when apparently you don't have a clue what you are talking about or your so ignorant you don't know how to f------ count.

@@randygraham6979 Wow. Nice essay. Guess I struck a nerve. I apologize for calling you ignorant. I guess when someone starts bad mouthing a tried and true motor and vehichle, which I have alot of experience with, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Merry Christmas!

@@ronpage101 No you didn't strike a nerve I've had alot of experience with cummins engines and they have been nothing but very unreliable and very expensive for mantiance they are not tried and true in my experience that's the reason they are nicknamed cumapart because they are not a dependable engine or at least not in my experience with them. From the n14 to the isx to the small ones in the ram trucks but where I'm from and live this is green detroit and yellow cat country. I've tried the ram cummins and Ford powerstroke on the hotshot side of my business neither one of them has the dependability reliability and cost per mile to operate in real world settings as the duramax Allison combo wish they did I can buy ram cummins a hell of alot cheaper then a duramax Allison but if it want last as long and cost more to operate your not saving anything your losing money in mantiance and down time. Merry Christmas to you too!!!!

@@randygraham6979 👌

Lol! Well I guess I have to live with it 😉

Everyone has their towing speeds. I don’t go over 75mph but when I see people with dump trailers loaded or empty here in Florida going 90MPH in the left lane 😅 I know why Florida auto insurance rates are so expensive now 🥲

Your are 100% absolutely right. You should never drive above 65mph when towing.👏👏👍👍

Lol why? what is the difference between 65 and 75?

@@johnmorgan8250 you can feel that difference in a truck. It’s substantial

@@jmart5302 crazy never notice the difference I tow at 75 all the time. But I guess a single wheel obviously is easier to tell.

Nope, had to move on, it was tough giving it up but this GMC is growing on me. Wait until the next video, you may jump ship too 😂 #WhoWork

@@JB_WhoWork ohhhhh snap. My buddy has the 2020 Chevy high country 3500 Duramax and he said his 4x4 pops out going above 45 mph. Does yours do that? I’m not jumping ship if that’s a known issue. He took it to 2 different dealers with no results. Please advise.

Nope, I never had that happen 👍🏾

I’m a GM fanboy… but if someone gives me a RAM HD I’m game lol

@@chriscota1635 I know most people would feel that way but I just don’t like the GM

RAM HD’s are actually reliable for the most part

Thanks, I have heard of this and don’t know why I didn’t pursue. It may be because of my AMEX biz card which pays me a good bit back. I go to Costco typically which is almost a $1 cheaper than where I was in the video, I just didn’t want to roll in there with a 40FT fifth wheel 😂. Thanks James, blessings to you and yours 👍🏾
