The Leader in Diesel Performance
Josh, a RAM master mechanic, installs a range of Banks products on a customer’s 5th Gen RAM, including a Monster Exhaust, Ram-Air Differential Cover, the new iDash Pro, a Stealth Pod gauge mount, and a PedalMonster. He highlights the easy installation and perfect fit of the components, as well as the impressive design of the iDash mount and differential cover.
Loren Mooney, a former RAM owner who experienced significant performance gains with Banks products, installed a Ram-Air Intake and PedalMonster on his 2022 Ford F-350. He highlights the easy installation and the noticeable improvements in throttle response and towing capability with the PedalMonster, contrasting it with the performance of a Pedal Commander he used on a previous vehicle. He also praises the improved airflow and sound from the Ram-Air Intake.
The article details the installation of a Banks Monster-Ram intake elbow, emphasizing improvements in airflow and addressing potential issues related to the factory grid heater. It highlights the step-by-step removal of old components and the careful installation of the Monster-Ram, including cleanliness, proper torque, and sealing unused ports. The kit includes a replacement fuel tube and components, and the installation is noted to improve vehicle power.
Gale Banks addresses the misconception that upgrading a RAM’s intake elbow is pointless due to head flow limitations. He clarifies the difference between CFM (cubic feet per minute – volume) and MAF (mass air flow), explaining that while CFM might be fixed at a given RPM, MAF can be increased by improving air density. The Banks Monster-Ram intake elbow achieves this by significantly increasing mass flow (88.3% over stock at the same pressure drop), allowing for more fuel to be added and thus increasing power. Additionally, the Monster-Ram eliminates the risk of grid heater bolt failure by replacing the stock grid heater with a high-flow billet intake plate and a relocated coil heater.
The article details the installation of a Banks Ram-Air Intake system on a 2024 Chevy/GMC Duramax 6.6L. It highlights the restrictive nature of the stock intake and how the Banks system, with its larger filter, streamlined design, and enclosed housing, significantly improves airflow to the engine. The installation process is described as straightforward, and the benefits include increased engine breathing, potentially leading to improved performance and efficiency.
Banks Power is helping Leonard Petroleum Equipment protect their $2.7 million fleet of 45 RAM trucks from engine damage caused by a faulty grid heater bolt. The Banks Monster-Ram intake eliminates the problematic grid heater assembly found in 2007-2024 RAM 6.7L Cummins engines, improving air mass flow and preventing potential engine failure.
This article showcases the installation of a Banks Monster-Ram intake on a highly modified 2006 Dodge RAM 2500. The Monster-Ram is highlighted for its improved airflow and its ability to support the truck’s significant performance upgrades, including twin turbos and other modifications.
Banks Monster-Ram intake prevents heater grid failure in 2007.5-2024 Ram Cummins engines. The Monster-Ram eliminates the failure-prone factory heater grid with a high-flow billet intake plate, improving airflow from the intercooler by 88.3% over stock. This upgrade enhances engine response, efficiency, and adds headroom for daily driving and heavy hauling, ultimately protecting the engine from potential damage.
This article discusses how the Banks Boost Tube System improves turbo performance in Duramax engines. It highlights the restrictive nature of the factory boost tubes and how the Banks system, with its larger diameter and smooth bends, significantly increases airflow. The article also mentions the benefits of the Banks system, including improved throttle response, reduced turbo lag, and increased horsepower and torque.
The article emphasizes the importance of monitoring engine parameters, especially transmission temperature, when towing or hauling heavy loads. It highlights how the Banks iDash DataMonster can display crucial data, helping drivers avoid costly repairs by identifying potential issues early.
