Ram-Air, The Finishing Touch
Full video transcript
0:00 what is going on everybody Welcome Back gosh that red looks phenomenal but
0:07 there’s one more piece to the puzzle for this 2019
0:13 F350 we are putting in the last piece of the puzzle stay tuned and watch us put
0:19 this Banks ramir brand new filter kit and setup on this truck all right let’s
0:58 all right everybody thanks so much for coming back and checking us out make sure to hit that like And subscribe right here at the bottom you guys have
1:05 seen us install some Bank stuff before more so on the 2020 truck 2020 trucks
1:12 but I have not been able to put one yet on uh the 17 18s or 19s and that is what
1:19 we are going to do today I have some tulos set up um I actually did not
1:25 tighten this in anticipation for removing this off the truck after doing
1:30 The Pusher and the DCR and a whole bunch of other stuff we have some seven
1:36 Millies take them 7 milles off and we’re going to kind of put that to the side
1:42 cuz it’s no longer going to be reused um uh Banks has some instructions on their website they’re really nice and uh we’re
1:50 going to kind of go back and forth between those accompanied by this video and we’ll go step by step and how to
1:59 install this particular one because 17 181 19
2:04 they did a little Switcheroo with the battery the battery was here then it was here and then it was here and then it
2:10 was well now they switched it back and 2019 was like this 2020 the battery went
2:19 right here and the air filter went back over here so um this is going to stay
2:24 here but we have to mess with with the battery tray because the bottom part part of this box isn’t going to go to
2:31 the bottom part of the battery tray because we have a new box so we got to take that off no big deal but after putting these batteries in we did have
2:38 to set fores scan to tell these that tell the truck that we have agms but I
2:43 want you guys to disconnect that negative there and the neg over here because we are going to be pretty much
2:50 removing this battery up and out of the truck air filter time we have four tabs
2:57 one two three and then one over here but
3:02 when you take it off check this out right keep turning right here see this
3:09 red tab red tab button and pull off and then you can
3:17 unravel your connector but set this aside cuz we are going to need that to
3:24 put in the new air filter box okay 10 mil 10 mil we’re going to be taking not
3:31 that all the way off just enough so that we can wiggle it off we’re going to do that for both the negative and the
3:39 pository okay and let’s go take the negative off the driver side right here
3:46 we’ll leave the positive but we’ve separated the batteries from chassis ground now so now you don’t have to
3:51 worry about clicking anything together all right let’s take the battery hold Downs off again these are some t Millis
4:00 we’re going to hold on to them come on 10 Millis all
4:06 right hold down holding and then the battery these are
4:12 some heavy guys what do you guys use to take batteries out do you have like a a battery holder grabby thing thing
4:20 thingy and kind of hold the cables like that get my freaking finger at least get
4:28 half of it oh my gosh these things theyy all right battery
4:36 out oh no we got the engine starting up again all right all right all right all
4:43 right now this may look a little confusing for some but don’t uh don’t
4:50 fret definitely time for air filter holy the
4:58 Jesus okay okay what do we do what do we do what do we what do we what what do we do we need some 8 Millies we got 8 Milli
5:04 right here sometimes I like to use the wobbles the wobbles are coming at you we
5:11 got two eights right down here they’re uh
5:17 long longer bolts that we’ve seen yet so we’re not going to reuse
5:26 those time for the L trim tools we have a clip right here right on the
5:34 side of the batter tree bot check this one out we have a connector right
5:40 here boom bada bang uh what else do we have is that all
5:46 that’s holding it down I believe so all
5:53 right kind of get this out the way you know I’m going to do one step and Banks
5:58 doesn’t say you you have to do this but I’m going to take this out just for
6:04 visual sake and ease of showing you guys how to do this I take this 8 Millie out
6:12 this is the ground for the passenger side that bot
6:20 Trey there we go we will have to reuse that all right
6:27 so look look at that now this is step out of the way not worrying about [Music]
6:37 anything all right so now that pretty much leaves our air filter loose Loosey Goosey our last last
6:48 trimmy clip right here on the back side
6:53 holding the mass airfill sensor harness to it that’s off so now
6:59 I have showed you guys before on the other trucks how to pull these up and out we got to fight the rubber
7:06 grommets get this one right [Music]
7:11 here there we go and be careful not to drop any of your
7:23 debris okay so now we can see the area is completely opened up this is where we’re going to be putting some some
7:30 bolts from the banks box but let’s go ahead and we need to get this battery tray out
7:38 let’s start with taking this off get my too tuck away now once you take this out we have
7:47 two flaps two clips that we’re going to release we have one here and one
7:53 directly over here and that’s going to allow this whole thing to pop out of here look at that that goes down to the
8:00 air box that comes from the air filter and then the battery tray is right here
8:07 so you can see this is going to this is going to change a little bit so now the battery box we have 13 mil and go ahead
8:14 and rip these
8:21 out okay okay any surprises did we forget any
8:27 Clips or any trim clips or are we coming out free as a bir there it is battery box out we are
8:37 going to have to reuse some of these so don’t don’t let these go far fact I’ll just put them right here but this
8:45 is this is the last this is the last part of taking the air filter out now if
8:54 you flip this over now we need to take this off I would suspect fact I don’t know if these
9:00 are 8 m are they well by golly they are
9:05 let’s go ahead and pop these off we’ll come down here to the stool
9:11 and we’ll get these ripped out right here they’re just going into some J
9:19 clips get them out and now this is going to kind of slide
9:28 out there here we go so she was just a little stuck I’m going to push
9:34 this little uh hold down what you call it back all right so now here’s the
9:41 battery tray now let’s come over to the instructions because we have to hold
9:47 this a certain way I believe like this and we have to take out I think this clip all right so when you when you guys
9:54 come over here let’s look at Banks’s instructions
10:00 all right we’re talking about this left clip right here and if you guys notice the hole in the
10:06 Box here here is our hole in the box so we
10:12 we’re verifying we’re holding the same okay we got this tab right here on
10:19 the side we have this tab right here on the side so we’re going to go ahead and
10:25 remove this see if I can do it with my pocket screw driver we’re going to pop this
10:32 little just like that and kind of well you saw what I just did so now I got to
10:38 go pick it up gravity it claimed
10:44 one so the next step now is going to be
10:49 assembly um once we get that
10:56 off okay okay okay okay okay it’s time for new parts boys let’s put this
11:05 down let’s get the new Ram
11:11 Air look at this filter freaking
11:17 [Music] huge here’s the new box look at
11:23 that that looks good huh huh so I believe we’re going to do
11:30 something kind of like uh maybe like this oh
11:39 yeah let see there we go there we go look at that
11:46 these holes line up perfectly right here I can still put
11:51 that bolt in so that should be all right that looks
11:56 good okay I’m not on top of any wires still get by here yep
12:04 yep now they wanted us to put that [Music]
12:11 in and then
12:17 this oh yeah look at that dudes this is nice this is nice all right well let’s
12:23 Loosely install some screws we have where’ they go search and rescue search
12:28 and rescue you 100% successful all right we
12:34 have two bolts two washers going to go ahead and
12:40 fingertight finger start these start one there we
12:48 go look something like
12:54 that get this one started right here we go I like I like it a lot
13:02 all right that looks good now I believe we need to put in another Banks bolt but
13:12 we’re going to need to get our hole Downs for the battery tray there’s
13:19 one and
13:26 two let’s get one over here
13:45 what I failed to mention too now that I’m thinking about this is uh they
13:50 wanted to put some Loctite on these
13:57 bolts I believe let see yeah don’t be a
14:04 Goofus and forget a dabble do banks gives you guys some uh locktite
14:12 and I completely I completely forgot about it don’t hold it against
14:18 me this one got
14:27 it just to dabble
14:33 do put them back in all right those are
14:42 good those are good all right I like it we have one more Banks bolt we’re
14:51 grabbing the 10 mil and I’m going to kind of go like
14:57 this and I’m going to reach my hand hand down here see how this hole is kind of not lined up right here I’m pushing the
15:04 banks box back towards the vehicle with my hand and I have perfect
15:13 alignment if it’s not screwing in by hand then you guys stop and reindex the
15:19 bolt cuz you don’t want to screw that boss up but I think I think we’re going
15:24 to tighten all these down I like it I’m going to start with these ones inside the battery inside the air box
15:31 we got some 10 ms going at it right here we give it some
15:38 assistance guys saw it snug over a little okay 10 Milli right
15:47 here oh yeah don’t forget our 13s right here ready to go
15:59 all right after we put the battery box on don’t forget the trim clips that’s
16:06 very important don’t for be a forgetful Jones and forget all right that looks
16:11 great you guys do I put this on now so
16:18 that I’m not going to have a problem putting it in afterwards or am I is that
16:25 going to be a problem I think I can do that afterwards there’s just one step more that I decided to do you guys don’t have to do that okay that looks sick
16:32 let’s put the air snorkel in the front back in Banks leaves us a hole for that
16:39 down right in there and this is going to go right behind
16:50 it where’s the holy there it is all right we are in
16:56 rubber rubberizing I like it I like it and then don’t
17:02 forget this that’s where it came from I see a lot of people forget that clip or put
17:08 these clips somewhere else you know these these push pins that is specific to right there so don’t be forgetting
17:17 all right now the last Almost one of the last pieces let’s get this badass air
17:23 filter let’s come over here kind of mock this up see what looks
17:33 like this sits in here like this oh maybe the other
17:41 way oh yeah look at that look at that we have this
17:48 gasket that sits down on it like that dude that is way cool let me put this
17:54 battery in here all right battery back in
18:01 all right gorgeous gorgeous let’s get the negatory get this back over here and
18:08 routed correctly I’m going to go ahead
18:16 and go ahead and put this negative back down we have our negative Bolt
18:41 tight all right now that’s out of the way put
18:46 the the negative [Music] down go ahead and put the positive back
18:52 down we have a power let’s go ahead and tighten these now
19:00 going to go around and do the driver
19:07 side driver side negative going
19:16 on oh yeah oh yeah I don’t
19:23 know think we should clean that up they suck when they rust especially if you have have lead acid
19:32 so let’s do a little
19:37 clean thanks cliff
20:01 nice this is the only thing that sucks with this bench grinder
20:06 like like I can’t I can’t do this
20:14 side sort of all right maybe I
20:21 can oh rust and
20:31 battery acid you guys know what I’m talking
20:37 about it don’t taste good man oh
20:49 [Music] disgusting all right that’s good looks all right
21:02 let’s come down here and get some let’s get some
21:18 hallucinogens no not on the White
21:29 there we go get all that exposed
21:37 metal hold down finally dry let’s go
21:43 ahead put this down and this we have two 10
21:48 mli 10 mli 10 m come on can I do them both at the same
21:56 time commencing the auto
22:04 drive all right I like it that looks great now I think it’s
22:11 time for the air filter last part is the box and the
22:19 snorkel this is how it sits in the truck I want you to get the clamps and the
22:24 duct elbow kind of do something like this I’ll squeeze the CR clamp get a little oval so it sits on there before
22:32 we put this in the truck guess what has to go there the
22:39 math the math the mass airflow sensor
22:44 let we get this thing to set right here nice there we go okay let’s take the stock one out stock lid we’re going to
22:52 go probably T20
23:00 oh it’s been a minute but we got it see if we can get this
23:07 too nope let’s take it
23:13 out one two I’m not going to be reusing
23:18 these screws but keep them I mean I would keep them just in case I ever lost them mass air flow sensor out mass
23:26 airflow sensor going back in see how that doesn’t look right well
23:33 guess what it only goes in one way so you guys can’t screw that
23:41 up we have that screwdriver with uh the
23:48 [Music] star the screwdriver with the star we’re going to use that
23:59 again these bolts were in were in the
24:07 kit okay screwdriver with the
24:14 star and last
24:19 okay she’s going on fam check it
24:25 out TR to go like this get this down in
24:32 here now this truck opted for The [Music]
24:40 Pusher let’s get that rubber elbow come
24:45 [Music]
24:51 on how about definely push this on first there we go
25:00 that looks G oh
25:08 yeah I can take that we’ll put this clamp over here so it’s not hitting the
25:15 hose okay okay okay I’m going set this in here like
25:21 this do a little twisty try to get this engaged okay mass
25:27 airflow sensor you guys can see it when you put this
25:32 in before you put it down go ahead and hit that
25:38 locking that locking tab see if I can get it connected come on
25:44 Nelly Here We Go connected and this popped off The Pusher
25:58 [Applause] okay I like it now let’s go back over here and
26:07 work this we got to put this one by the mass
26:15 air flow sensor they say let’s do that one
26:22 first where’s the hole
26:29 that’s a real uh that’s a real challenge right there I’ll tell you
26:40 that all right got that one and see if I
26:47 can see if I can walk it around need a driver
27:01 see if I can get this T down in
27:12 here all right let’s sense that down let’s see how far off we are cuz that
27:17 was kind of all right that’s looks fairly
27:25 close okay can we get the last one in underneath
27:33 here please tell me it’s going to line up cuz that’s a crappy hole to oh I just
27:41 felt it Go Down in the
27:47 Hole maybe not I cannot
27:53 tell I think so I think so all right let me tighten these
28:03 down last bolt well the first bolt Banks tells you
28:08 to do it’s uh it’s kind of a a trickery to get but if you have the right
28:15 tool I’m using a ratcheting Flex Head Quarter drive
28:23 ratto and I think I’m getting to the end
28:29 all right well now that’s started let’s draw these down see how much farther I got to
28:37 go all right let’s see how far more we got to go oh just a little I can feel just a
28:45 tiny baby Gap there we
28:50 go there we go tight okay so now
28:58 so now you guys can come right here and tighten the last
29:06 clampy look at that that looks freaking
29:11 awesome last step which is right here last thing I want you guys to do is
29:18 come over here to the air filter grab the filter
29:25 minder and there is a hole right right
29:33 here push the rubber in and screw that and make sure that’s reset couple of
29:40 bolts up here we’re not going to need but check it out that is it for the
29:48 banks air filter for this 2019 F350 I guess let’s start it up and
29:56 see what she sounds like
30:09 oh yeah I like it I like it looks good it’s going to
30:15 sound good exhaust brake is going to sound good Pusher Banks and SNS and HSM and
30:25 AMS oil are the best thing for your Superduty and if you’re in the Southeastern Michigan area and want to
30:32 get a variety of these things installed on your truck or it’s getting close to Winter you guys might want to get some

We’ve known ARod of PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod as one of the best Ford Techs around. In fact, he is a Ford Senior Master Tech working at a dealer for 23+ years. He’s seen a lot of Fords, he knows how they work, and what’s best for them. In his latest video he installs the Banks Ram-Air Intake on a 2019 Power Stroke, which is the finishing touch to the work that he’s already done. “You’ve seen us install Banks stuff before, but I haven’t installed a Ram-Air in a 2017-2019. Banks has some really nice instructions on their site, so we’ll be going between those and the truck.”
ARod’s step-by- step installation and helpful comments demonstrate that the whole process can be tackled by seasoned mechanics, yet is easy enough for enthusiast.
