The Leader in Diesel Performance
David from Willomet Motor & Fab upgraded his 2001 Duramax LB7 with a Banks Ram-Air Intake System to improve its towing capabilities for his 1985 Diesel Chevy Suburban project. While not seeking massive power gains, David reported a ¾ mile per gallon increase in highway fuel economy and a noticeable improvement in throttle response, particularly in the mid-range. He also noted the easy 30-minute installation of the bolt-on system.

Jim Powell’s 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax, bought new, now features Banks Ram-Air Intake, Differential Cover, and Monster Exhaust. These upgrades improved his in-town MPG from 14-15 to 17.7 and highway MPG from 17 to 21.7.
After experiencing the enhanced throttle response of the Banks PedalMonster on his 2023 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss, Travis from jt4x4offroading had to temporarily remove it. He immediately noticed the return of the factory throttle lag and sluggishness, emphasizing how significantly the PedalMonster had improved his daily driving experience and off-road control. His week without the PedalMonster reinforced its value and the immediate difference it makes.
Josh Buck’s 2022 Jeep Gladiator felt underpowered at high altitudes during camping and rock crawling trips. After installing a Banks Ram-Air Intake, he experienced a significant improvement in the engine’s ability to breathe, resulting in readily available power and the elimination of bogging down, even in second gear. Surprisingly, along with the enhanced performance, Josh also noticed an increase in fuel mileage during everyday driving.
The Banks Ram-Air Intake system increases mass airflow by 36% compared to the stock intake, resulting in improved power and fuel economy for 2020-2024 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke engines. It features an enclosed housing to keep out hot air and a large-capacity air filter for extended service life.

Justin from JB Reviews conducted a back-to-back towing test on a 6% grade, comparing his 2024 GMC Sierra with a Banks Monster-Ram and Boost Tube Upgrade Kit to a lighter 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500. Despite his truck being heavier with more fuel and taller tires, it outperformed the stock Silverado, reaching a higher speed (79 MPH vs. 78 MPH, with potential for 81 MPH if not for traffic). This test served as a rebuttal to skeptics who dismissed the Banks components as mere “engine jewelry,” proving their impact on acceleration and performance, as also indicated by lower intake temperatures in a previous test. Justin strongly recommends the Banks upgrades based on these results.
