Banks Dual Heater and Billet Heater Upgrade Kit Installation and Wiring Diagrams

1. Copper washer

Slide the copper washer onto the coil heater(s) before installation.

2. Install coil heater(s)

Start threading them in by hand

3. Tighten coil(s)

Use a 26mm wrench and hand-tighten. Don’t over-torque them.

4. Thread the heater nuts down first

This will expose all the threads for the next step.

5. Threadlocker

Apply a drop of blue thread locker to each of the coils.

6. Thread the heater nut(s) back up

Expose 2 threads from the bottom to give enough space between the heater post and the coil body.

7. Heater connection wire (1500W Kit)

For 1500W kits, bend the small red wire into a U shape to connect the two coils together.

8. Wire orientation

Be sure the connection wire loops away from the engine. If you can see the Banks logo, the wire should look like a smily face.

9. Heater cable

Stack the thicker heater cable on top of the smaller wire.

10. Tighten heater(s)

With two 8mm wrenches. Singe the two nuts together while holding the lower nut stationary.

Failure to hold the lower nut stationary can damage the coil heater by breaking the post free from the ceramic insulator.

11. Heater cable orientation

Tighten the larger heater cable so that its pointing away from the looped wire.

12. Remove 12V power lead

13. Cable tie

Free the wire harness from the throttle heat shield.

14. Throttle heat shield

With a 10mm socket, remove the bolts that secure the heat shield.

15. Free boost tube

With a 10mm socket, remove the clamp that holds the boost tube on.

16. Throttle Body

Reach around the back side, slide the locking tab over and unplug the throttle valve.

17. Unbolt Throttle

With an 8mm socket, unbolt the 4 bolts that secure the throttle.

18. Pull the throttle free from the Monster-Ram.

19. Thread locker

Apply a drop of thread locker to each of the Banks supplied long bolts

20. Gaskets

Line up the two supplied gaskets onto both side of the billet heater.

21. Bolt the billet heater on

Slide the longer bolts through the throttle and billet heater. Start threading them by hand, then snug them down with the supplied 5mm hex key.

Do not over-torque and break the bolts.

22. Boost tube clamp

Wrap the clamp back around the throttle.

23. Secure the clamp

Use a deep sock and snug it down.

24. Grounding bar

Grab the 2 bolts and the grounding bar. When installed the rounded end will point towards the Monster-Ram

25. Torque Grounding Bar

With a 13mm socket, toreque top 12 ft-lb.

26. Cable Tie

Re attach the wire harness to the stud under the Monster-Ram.

27. MAP sensor

Locate and unplug the MAP sensor.

28. MAP sensor

Depress the tab and unplug it.

29. Map sensor

With a T-15 Torx, remove the MAP sensor from the Monster-Ram

30. Lubricate O-ring

Apply some silicone lubricant to the MAP sensor O ring

31. Lubricate O-ring

Also apply some lubricant to the o ring on the MAP relocation block.

32. Secure MAP sensor

Use the supplied T-15 screw and secure the MAP sensor to the relocation block.

33. Install MAP sensor block

Reinstall the MAP sensor and relocation block. Secure it with the T-20 torx screw.

34. Install MAP sensor block

Snug it down with the supplied T20 key

35. Harness routing

Route the MAP sensor harness underneath the larger heater cable.

36. Harness routing

Wire the MAP sensor harness under the power cable like this.

37. Loop the 12V heater cable

Free the 12V harness from its cable ties to position it towards the front of the truck. Loop the extra out of the way.

38. Install heater cable

Put the factory 12V heater coil down first, and stack the Banks heater cable on top.

39. Since the power cables together

With one 8mm wrench on the bottom, and the one on top, singe the two together.

40. Harness Cleanup

Secure any loose wires with a zip-tie.

41. Start and Check

Start the engine and check for any boost leaks.
