Diesel Mechanic Chooses Banks

Ryan Mayer’s latest video has him working on a bone-stock 2022 Ram 2500. “These 5th gens have a slew of things that people are on edge about,” explains Ryan. “One of them is the grid heater bolt that affects all 6.7L engines. We also need to get this thing to breathe as much as we can.” In his video, the self-taught Diesel mechanic explains the grid heater issue and how the Banks Monster-Ram is the answer that will ensure the truck stays on the road, and not in the shop due to the melted bolt dropping into the engine. 

“People are going to say that it’s not going to happen if you don’t use the grid heater or that you’re in a warm climate. That’s not the case! People have this problem in Texas, California, and all those warmer places.”

Finishing the install with the Ram-Air Intake, Ryan adds, “This truck is going to flow a ton more air, be more efficient, and have better throttle response. You’re going to get a lot of benefits when you upgrade your truck with just these two things. You don’t have to add any tuning, you don’t have to add anything else. These things are impressive!”

After a short test drive Ryan reports with a grin. “You can hear the turbo. And the power? You can feel it. Just a couple of add-ons, no tune, better sound, more efficiency. It definitely drives so much better.”
