The Leader in Diesel Performance
2010–2012 RAM 6.7L owners face power loss from heat-soaked stock intercoolers. Banks solves that with a 1,000-hp capable intercooler upgrade engineered to lower IATs, boost throttle response, and deliver reliable towing performance.
Roger Christensen’s 2004.5 GMC Sierra Duramax LLY shows why Six-Gun Duramax Tuner Upgrades deliver +115 hp, smoother throttle response, and decades of rock-solid reliability.
The Banks TechniCooler for the 2010-2012 RAM 6.7L is engineered to significantly lower intake air temperatures, addressing the limitations of the stock intercooler, especially during towing. Its design features a massive core and a patent-pending elliptical inlet and outlet, providing a 78% greater flow area than stock without requiring modifications to the truck’s frame or core support. This results in a 3.5 psi reduction in boost loss compared to the stock intercooler, leading to improved throttle response and overall performance. The complete system includes mandrel-bent high-flow boost tubes and all necessary installation hardware.
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 discusses common airflow restrictions in the Ford 6.0L Power Stroke engine, specifically the stock air intake and intercooler systems. It highlights how the Banks Ram-Air Intake and Techni-Cooler intercooler address these restrictions, improving airflow and engine performance. The Banks intake features a larger filter and streamlined design, while the Techni-Cooler offers a significantly larger core for better cooling.
Joe Lovell significantly upgraded his 2016 Ram 3500 Cummins at the Banks Power House Installation Center, installing the Intercooler Upgrade with Boost Tube Upgrade, Ram-Air Intake, Monster-Ram, iDash SuperGauge and Stealth Pod, PedalMonster, Monster-Exhaust, Ram-Air Differential Cover, and MAP Sensor Relocation Kit. Following the installation, he reported a noticeable increase in power and consistent fuel mileage.
Ford 7.3L Power Stroke owners can significantly improve their engine’s airflow and reduce exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) by upgrading to the Banks Power Intercooler System. The stock intercooler on these trucks is often undersized and inefficient, leading to higher EGTs and reduced performance, especially when towing or under load. The Banks system offers a much larger and more efficient core, resulting in cooler, denser air entering the engine for increased power and better fuel economy.
The Banks Intercooler Upgrade for the 2013-2018 Ram 2500/3500/4500/5500 with the 6.7L Cummins offers superior performance compared to stock and competitors. It improves power, torque, and fuel economy, while also reducing exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) and preventing engine derate. Testing was performed under realistic conditions to ensure accurate results. The intercooler flows 48% better than stock and adds a calculated +27 hp and +51 lb-ft.
James Givens’ 2006 RAM now climbs mountains and hauls heavy loads with ease, thanks to a Banks Intercooler Upgrade Kit with the Monster-Ram and boost tubes that improved airflow and lowered EGTs.
Jeff Berdeax upgraded his 1999 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke with a Banks Ram-Air Intake to reduce soaring EGTs from heavy towing. The result? Cooler temps, stronger throttle response, and confidence in every haul.
