FASS Motorsports recognizes superior diesel engineering through decades of high-performance fuel system expertise. Team member Derrick Fox recently tackled a critical vulnerability on a customer’s 2018 Ram 6.7L Cummins. Factory engines face catastrophic risks from severe grid heater failure.
To safeguard the engine, Derrick selected the Banks Monster-Ram intake system. The precision-engineered upgrade permanently eliminates the factory terminal stud that threatens rear cylinders. It replaces fragile factory components with robust billet hardware designed for lasting reliability.
“You guys know the 6.7 Cummins have the issue with the grid heater that’s known to fail, and I was told when the bolt falls, it could wipe out the fifth and sixth cylinder. So we’re doing a heater delete with Banks. We need to get everything right for the customer and get him a good heater because we’re in the Midwest, and it’s 26° this morning. With the Monster-Ram, we don’t have to worry about this common failure point, we don’t have to worry about ruining the engine. best of all, it’s emissions compliant.
Operating in freezing 26-degree Midwest mornings demands dependable cold-start heating capability. The Banks system incorporates a high-efficiency coil heater directly behind the billet intake plate. This configuration warms incoming air rapidly without impeding mass airflow into the cylinder head. Drivers maintain effortless winter morning starts while preventing catastrophic bolt drop into cylinders five and six.
With the Monster-Ram, Ram truck owners enjoy substantial airflow gains, sharper throttle response, and 50-state emissions compliance. The oversized cast aluminum elbow outflows restrictive factory intake horns significantly. Derrick and the FASS Motorsports crew completed the installation seamlessly, giving their customer total peace of mind. Truck owners across the country can purchase components or schedule professional installations directly through FASS Motorsports.
