97726 Banks Boost Tube Kit for 2019-24 RAM 6.7L
ATTENTION: Boost-Tube Clamps
When installing the clamps, be sure the hose and clamps go on far enough to clear the bead on each end, about 1.25 inches.
An improper installation, such as a clamp sitting directly on a bead or crossed diagonally, will result in a boost leak.

Bill of Materials
1. For ease of installation of your Banks Monster-Ram Intake, Please familiarize yourself with the procedure by reading the entire manual before starting work.
2. Throughout this manual, the left side of the vehicle refers to the driver’s side, and the right side to the passenger’s side.
3. Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery (or batteries, if there are two) before beginning work.
4. Route and tie wires and hoses a minimum of 6” away from exhaust heat, moving parts and sharp edges. Clearance of 8” or more is recommended where possible.
5. The installation should be performed at time when the vehicle has been allowed to completely cool. This installation requires the installer to work near surfaces that may remain hot after the vehicle has been run. Failure to allow the vehicle to cool may result in personal injury.
6. When raising the vehicle, support it on properly weight-rated safety stands, ramps or a commercial hoist. Follow the manufacturer’s safety precautions. Take care to balance the vehicle to prevent it from slipping or falling. When using ramps, be sure the front wheels are centered squarely on the topsides. When raising the front of the vehicle, put the transmission in park (automatic) or reverse (manual), set the parking brake, and block the rear wheels. When raising the back of the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is on level ground and the front wheels are blocked securely.
Caution! Do not use floor jacks to support the vehicle while working under it. Do not raise the vehicle onto concrete blocks, masonry, or any other item not intended specifically for this use.
7. During installation, keep the work area clean. Do not allow anything to be dropped into intake, exhaust, or lubrication system components while performing the installation, as foreign objects will cause immediate engine damage upon start-up.

To easily orient the cold-side boost tube correctly, lay it flat on a table next to the stock plastic boost tube.
