The article emphasizes the importance of monitoring engine parameters, especially transmission temperature, when towing or hauling heavy loads. It highlights how the Banks iDash DataMonster can display crucial data, helping drivers avoid costly repairs by identifying potential issues early.
This article is a video transcript about installing a Banks CoolRunner oil pan on a 2023 GMC Denali 2500 HD with a 6.6L L5P Duramax engine. The video features “Rainman Ray” who is installing the new oil pan. The key product discussed is the Banks CoolRunner oil pan, which is designed to allow all the oil to drain during oil changes, unlike the factory pan that traps about a quart of dirty oil. The CoolRunner also has deep FlowThru Fins to reject more heat and reduce aeration, and it holds two additional quarts of oil to extend service intervals.
Jeep enthusiast Jimmy Lee Moufarrej found the Banks PedalMonster to be the ideal solution for throttle lag issues in his 2020 Gladiator, 2021 Wrangler 4Xe, and 2023 Wrangler 392 Hemi. He emphasizes that the PedalMonster eliminated lag and provided better control over the power output, even with modifications like larger tires and gear changes.
This article features a customer, John Holtz, who switched to Banks Power products after experiencing issues with a competitor’s product on his 2021 RAM 3500. He highlights the superior quality and performance of the Banks Ram-Air intake and PedalMonster, noting the improved throttle response and overall driving experience.
This article details the benefits of the Banks MAP Sensor Relocation Kit. The kit moves the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor away from the intake air stream, preventing buildup from oil and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). This ensures accurate sensor readings, leading to improved fuel economy, power output, and overall engine reliability. The article emphasizes the simple installation process.
Banks TransCommand transmission controller enhances the performance and lifespan of Allison 1000 and 2000 series transmissions, particularly in Duramax trucks. It optimizes shift points, increases line pressure, and provides torque converter clutch control, leading to smoother shifts, reduced slippage, and lower transmission temperatures, ultimately increasing durability and preventing premature failure.
Accurate air-fuel ratio (AFR) data for performance tuning and engine monitoring is now available with the new Banks iDash 1.8 Wideband O2/AFR Module. The module seamlessly integrates with the iDash DataMonster to display and log precise wideband AFR readings, crucial for optimizing engine performance and preventing potential damage.
Gale Banks discusses the “unfair advantage” his company provides through extensive engineering, testing, and manufacturing processes.
