holding speed coming off mountain passes/ grades?

This is where diesels REALLY shine. The 6.7 cummins can provide over 250 braking horsepower and no gas engine will ever be able to come near that.

That said, odds are the 7.3 does better than any other gas engine. With a gasser, displacement = engine braking. Just don't expect diesel performance from it.

Thanks, I can't put a price tag on that safety feature of towing back from the mountains. I don't think the wife likes hearing the brake talk it's way down a 6+ winding grade for miles but it's music to my ears.
