The Leader in Diesel Performance
In his TJ Hunt Dream RAM Build, TJ and crew overhaul Grant Anderson’s 2012 RAM 3500 Dually with Banks Ram‑Air intake, Monster‑Ram (with Grid Heater), Boost Tube Upgrade, MAP Sensor Spacers, Ram‑Air diff cover, and an iDash Data Pro for race‑ready power and reliability.
The Duramax Monster‑Ram Review by DMAX enthusiast Rocky Rohde reveals 18.67 % less compressor‐inlet pressure loss and +6.01 lb/min airflow—plus a MAP Sensor Spacer tip for cleaner sensors and better economy.
David from Fondupot’s Garage installs the Banks MAP Sensor Spacer Kit on his 2024 Duramax to keep sensors out of exhaust soot—extending service intervals and boosting fuel economy.
Prioritizing fluid maintenance—such as engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant—is essential before pursuing performance upgrades, ensuring reliability and longevity for your diesel truck.
Banks is releasing a new product line to improve the performance of 7.3L Ford Power Stroke engines. The initial release is the Banks Intake Manifold, designed to increase airflow and reduce exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) temperatures. Testing showed a significant reduction in EGTs compared to the stock manifold. Future products in the line will include turbo upgrades, exhaust systems, and other performance enhancements.
Dallas Penn, a 2024 F-250 owner in high-altitude Colorado, details the challenges of vehicle performance in extreme conditions. He installed a suite of Banks products, including Ram-Air intake, Monster Exhaust, MAP Sensor Relocation Kit, Ram-Air Differential Cover, PedalMonster, and iDash, resulting in improved consistency, predictability, and control, particularly during high-altitude driving.
The Banks MAP Sensor Relocation Kit is now available for Ford, GM, and Ram trucks. The kit moves the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor out of the intake air stream, which is often contaminated with exhaust gas and oil vapor from the EGR and PCV systems. This relocation helps prevent buildup on the sensor, ensuring more accurate readings to the ECU, which can improve fuel economy and power output. The installation is described as simple, requiring basic tools and only a few minutes.
This article emphasizes the importance of a clean Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor for optimal engine performance. It explains how the Banks MAP Sensor Relocation Kit moves the sensor away from the dirty intake air stream, preventing buildup and ensuring accurate readings. This leads to improved fuel economy, power output, and overall engine reliability.
This article features a customer, John Holtz, who switched to Banks Power products after experiencing issues with a competitor’s product on his 2021 RAM 3500. He highlights the superior quality and performance of the Banks Ram-Air intake and PedalMonster, noting the improved throttle response and overall driving experience.
