Dave Talks Monster-Ram

In his latest video, Dave Bell of Dave’s Auto Center tries to educate and demystify something that a lot of folks struggle to understand: Airflow. “You can’t just add fuel to any engine, diesel or gasoline, and not add the correct amount of air to get the right air-to-fuel ratio to build horsepower. Adding fuel without the proper amount of air is burning money!” That day Dave had an excellent example in a RAM truck that was in for the Monster-Ram upgrade. The customer was concerned about the dreaded grid heater bolt failure that plagues all RAMs with 6.7L Cummins engines.

Aside from eliminating the grid heater bolt failure, the Monster-Ram increases air mass substantially. Dave and his son Miles point out the differences between the restrictive stock intake components that rob performance, and how the free-flowing design of the Banks Monster-Ram is the polar opposite. Dave takes the customer’s truck for a test drive. After the installation, he observes: “Every time I drive anything after I’ve installed some Banks equipment, I’m always amazed.” Dave continues, “For the cost, the peace of mind, and the benefit, as an engine builder, I think it’s the best thing you can do for your truck.”
