MAP Sensor Relocation Kit: Ford, GM & RAM Trucks

Banks Billet MAP Sensor Relocation Kit for 2020-2026 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke
The CNC-machined billet aluminum Banks MAP Sensor Relocation Kit for 2020–2026 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke trucks.

Modern diesel trucks rely on a network of sensitive electronic sensors to run at peak efficiency, and few are more important than the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. Keeping the MAP sensor clean is essential for measuring intake manifold air pressure accurately, which directly governs fuel injection quantity and timing. However, your engine’s Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) systems route unburnt exhaust soot and sticky oil vapor back through the intake tract to lower combustion temperatures and curb NOx emissions. Over time, those harsh contaminants coat the delicate sensor element, skewing pressure readings sent to the ECU and robbing your truck of both fuel economy and power output.

00:00 there is a problem with late model diesel engines that the oems won’t tell you about because it happens so slowly and if I have to replace another one of these sensors again I’m going to lose it this little guy right here is your map sensor also known as a manifold absolute

00:15 pressure sensor and this will send critical data to your truck’s ECM to calculate things like air fuel ratio and injection timing but there’s a problem this lives in your intake manifold which is at the mercy of your beloved EGR system meaning that Airstream is going

00:29 to be contain lated with exhaust s and sticky oil Vapor that’s going to land on your sensor and end up clogging the hell out of it looking like this no it doesn’t happen overnight but it happens and that blockage is going to skew your readings and ultimately lower power

00:43 output and fuel economy so here at Banks we’ve engineered a map spacer kit and this spacer allows you to take that delicate sensor out of the contaminated flow stream and save you from having to replace this sensor every few th000 miles and we make them for late model

The Banks MAP Sensor Relocation Kit moves the sensing tip out of the direct exhaust gas stream to dramatically reduce oily soot buildup. Machined from billet aluminum, the spacer installs in minutes with basic hand tools and pulls your MAP sensor out of the path of heavy contamination—making its reports to the ECU far more dependable to preserve consistent power and better MPG.

How Billet MAP Relocation Protects Ford, GM, and RAM Diesels

Inside modern diesel engines, exhaust gas recirculation soot mixes with sticky crankcase oil vapor inside the intake manifold. This abrasive sludge coats the delicate sensing element inside your factory Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. When heavy carbon deposits insulate the sensor tip, it sends delayed and inaccurate boost readings to the ECM. Consequently, your truck suffers from sluggish throttle response, erratic turbocharger vane control, and more frequent DPF regeneration cycles.

Banks CNC-machines each relocation housing from billet aluminum with a protective black anodized finish. The recessed chamber pulls the sensing tip out of the direct, high-velocity soot stream while maintaining accurate pressure readings. Ford owners can protect 2011-2019 and 2020-2026 6.7L Power Stroke engines in minutes. GM owners can equip 2017-2026 6.6L Duramax L5P trucks using single or 2024-2026 dual MAP relocation kits. Meanwhile, RAM 6.7L Cummins drivers can safeguard both 2019-2024 MAP and 2007.5-2024 TMAP sensors.
