The Leader in Diesel Performance
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 Monster-Ram intake elbow for the 2007-2024 RAM 6.7L uses rocket nozzle technology to improve airflow. In a video, Gale Banks tests the Monster-Ram against a straight pipe, demonstrating that the Monster-Ram flows more air mass, even with a diffuser attached to the pipe. This results in better throttle response and fuel economy for RAM owners.

The BorgWarner turbochargers in 2011-2019 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engines have a known issue with the ceramic ball bearings failing prematurely. This can lead to significant repair costs, often requiring complete turbocharger replacement. The failure is attributed to the design of the bearing system and the stresses it endures under normal use.
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.
Banks Power offers the Monster-Ram intake manifold with an integrated Grid Heater Upgrade for 2019-2024 Ram 6.7L Cummins engines. This system is designed to prevent the common issue of grid heater bolt failure, where bolts can corrode, break, and fall into the engine, causing significant damage. The upgraded design uses robust materials and construction to ensure the grid heater remains securely in place, safeguarding the engine
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.
Gale Banks breaks down what turbo surge is, how it happens, and why it can damage your diesel engine if left unchecked.
