This will be a direct function of how much EGR is used, if any. Neither the FCA or Cummins press releases yesterday mentioned the complete removal of EGR (which would have been a notable marketing point). Cummins did mention intake air pressure as 33 psi, notably above normal air pressure at sea level (around 30), thanks to a new larger turbocharger.
Uhhhh, normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psig.

Hmmmmm, the SR71 did have a couple of very serious dual engines. Does that count as a dually?

Cool trivia #1:
One of my friends was an intern at NASA-Ames and got to see the SR-71 take off a couple of times. Fuel literally poured out of the wings on the ground. They would do a quick lap to bring the skin up to temperature and refuel. When hot they didn't leak (much).
Cool trivia #2:
Q: How do you provide air conditioning for the pilot of an SR71 when the skin temperature is 450-950 degrees Fahrenheit?
A: You cool the condenser with fuel on its way to two ginormous engines

You're wrong on both counts. It happened on my way home from the dealer Southern Califoronia Desert and it hasn't rained here in years.
Tires only had 50 miles on them new from the dealer.
Nice try but EPIC fail on your part.
But please feel free to come up with some other excuses.
I suppose you aslo want to doubt that when I "punched" it my head hit the head rest yeaterday?
Go ahead I'll make some popcorn and see what you dredge up for that one.

No rain also means nothing to wash the oils off the road surface either.

I'd be happy to own either the Super Duty or the HD RAM(not a fan of the 1500 RAM though).
The only question I have is about interior quality. When people mention the RAM having better interior quality, are we talking about durability? Or are we just talking about how nice and comfortable it is? I will agree on the second part, although I've only ridden in a 4th Gen Ram once. But I don't yet know how long these interiors will hold up. I still have bad memories of many a Dodge interior having cracked dashed, broken switched, electrical gremlins, etc. But these were all Diamler era products. Has FCA improved on this at all?
And for those of us in the XL/XLT range(or Tradesman/Big Horn), is that difference in interior comfort still as wide?

Not in a current diesel... BUT, for my needs and IMHO, I could be satisfied with the old 5.9 CTD power #’s in order to have reliability, economy, and ease of maintenance of years ago. Other than big #’s there doesn’t seem to be any advantages to our modern trucks- I mean let’s face it, the “greenies” still hate your guts and your trucks😂
