Interestingly enough, Double R Diesel just released a video this week that dyno'ed the Banks Monster Ram intake vs. the stock one. It turns out a stock intake makes more power than the banks intake, UNLESS you're tuned and deleted; in which case it makes pretty decent gains.

I installed mine 3 years ago. I have had no problem passing Utah emissions. Banks provides the CARB compliance number on a sticker. The same sticker Dave stuck on the Monster Ram in the video. Also, if you have an issue with the emissions guy, Banks will go to bat for you to educate them.
Sadly Banks does not make a cold air intake for my 2024 GMC SIERRA-3500-HD 6-6L-GAS. I had to go with the S&B. But it fit like a glove and the install instructions were spot on. I like Banks a lot, just wish they had more products.
We don't offer one yet. We are still developing and testing the Ram Air intake and the Derringer for the 2024+ L5P Duramax. The 2024+ L5P Duramax trucks have new updates for emissions regulations and new computer systems. Because of these changes, they are even more sensitive to any major changes like air flow rate and temp. We must work with these changes, and unfortunately, that has forced us to change harness and programming on the MAF module that is included with the Ram Air intake. It's coming this year.
Just ordered the monster Ram...actually I showed this video to my buddy and he ordered one also. I don't want to crater an engine because of a faulty nut coming loose. Thanks for the information Dave, you guys are awesome 👍🤘🤙
I put a banks intercooler and exhaust system on my 91 Dodge two 5012 valve and it made a huge difference milea ge and Performance and I just got done putting a intercooler on my 97 F350 what a difference !!! by the way, thank you for calling it and Engine during the whole episode
I installed mine on my 2014 cummins over the 4th of July weekend and I love it! Just be sure to follow the directions to the letter. Or have someone like Dave here do it for you. :-)
I have this exact Monster Ram on my two 6.7 Cummins. ABSOLUTELY the single best upgrade.... ESPECIALLY for a stock engine. I also have the equivalent on mytwo 5.9 pickups. Heater grid is not an issue there, but improves spool-up and mpg even more than for the 6.7 engines. PS, it does not increase HP or air flow, ie CFM. It broadens the power band by spooling the turbo faster & sooner. The head limits the air flow, so this increases the volume of air, because it's compressed air. Bottom line; it literally makes a noticeable improvement.
I added the 5" Monster Exhaust, Pedal Monster w/ iDash, Monster Air box (oiled), and Banks' intercooler tubes. I noticed much better power when pulling my 5th wheel. BTW, the Monster Exhaust eliminates the useless muffler which you don't need, the DPF acts as a muffler. The truck is very quite except for the cool sound of the turbo.
@@jameseroh6544 I used the hillbilly method. I towed 19,000 lbs over the Malad Summit bone stock and then again after installing the Monster Ram. The truck didn't struggle like it did bone stock. Amazing how being able to breathe helped it along.
Just performed the same kit on my 2009 m has 135,000. The grid heated bolt still good but the grid was so built up with carbon looked half plugged. Test drove and seems to run freely and noise is gone , runs smooth and quiet . Great product , thanks to Gale Banks and his team , Parts fit perfectly .
Currently running the ram intake, air filter, fully deleted, tuned, built rfe, truck has 241k miles (2012 3500 Cummins), makes a safe reliable 600-650hp to the wheels, tows everything under the sun like it isn’t there, blows the 37x12.5s off at any speed under 70 (really…these trucks make a tsunami wave of torque that doesn’t quit), gets me from my house in Maine to my property in Boston (165 miles on way) and BACK on 3/8th of a tank, and has NEVER left stranded. I’m into it currently for 38k cash doing much of the work myself. My personal truck. I have other Cummins work trucks all with the banks touch. Nothing compares. But a mildly built, lifted, big tire Cummins with cow catcher bumpers requires a direct hit from a meteorite to stop them. They’re INCREDIBLE. I’ll never go back to anything Duracrap.
RAM will VOID your warranty in a New York second when they see that on your truck. Ask me how I know. My truck had 1300 miles on it when I upgraded to the Banks Monster Ram intake. I took my truck to the dealer for the first oil changed and the area service manager for Ram saw it and flagged me. They made me put my truck back to stock to get my warranty back ($1200) so I did but they didn't keep their word. Still NO Warranty. So Fvck Ram, I put the Banks back on and added everything they make for a 2022 3500. I bought it all. My truck runs good and I've NEVER been back to the dealer for anything. Not even when my wife needed a new car. She wanted a Jeep but she got a C8 Corvette instead. I love my truck But I HATE Stellantis. BANKS for the WIN!! I'm located in Las Vegas, Nv. And all 5 Ram dealers here suck.
Installing a part like that cannot void any warranty unless the part is found to be the cause for the failure. That's just the stealership trying to con you out of money. Check the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
I installed one of these monster Ram intake elbows and it works great. Especially when towing heavy loads. My Cummins even idles way smoother than the stock intake ever did. There's a climb in Arizona on the 17 freeway from the Phoenix area going north and it pitches to a 6% grade and I've gained 10mph going up that grade towing my 5th wheel trailer plus gained 1 mile per gallon with my Monster Ram Intake.
I helped my buddy do this on a his 2020 ram. We had already deleted the EGR, DPF, and added a full 5" exhaust. The truck is tuned, and after we installed the monster ram, the power increase and engine responsiveness was noticeable immediately. Very worthwhile upgrade.
@@Yoxicofficial We did it ourselves. There are tons of videos online on how to to it. It's not hard. Just takes time and some hand tools. We did it in a weekend. MAKE SURE you put heavy and healthy battery chargers on the batteries during the reflashing process. I had a bad charger and we ended up bricking the ECU. Had to send it to canada to Optimal Welding for a reflash. Their tuning has been awesome.
I love mine and can tell a Big difference, and I can hear the air when I give it the throttle! I also did another thing that will make my engine last and no longer need the def, and I went with a 5" exhaust with no restrictions from front to back!
Had my 2014 6.7L with 78,000 miles changed over to the Monster Ram. The first thing I noticed was at idle the engine was breathing. I bought the truck used and had always thought it sounded like it was gasping for air at idle. My mechanic didn't want me to spend this much money, but after he installed and saw the difference on my engine, he is now pushing the Banks system. And he said the factory grid heater bolts was still tight, but the carbon build up was really bad.
I put A monster ram on my 2017 ram 6.7 as a precautionary measure because of the heater grid issue and it was amazing. I towed a loaded trailer 10,000 lbs plus 2,000 pounds in the bed from the west coast 1500 miles over US 40 and it felt like I was empty. The power increase was unbelievable everything else was stock non deleted.
Notice the 90 degree angle on the Monster Ram - it's shaped like that so as to keep the air flow performance, whilst allowing for such a angle of direction change. Clearly designed by someone with knowledge of fluid dynamics! 👍
There has been one issue with Banks and putting on the Ram Air Intake on these Ram vehicles. The check engine light comes on for EGR. I added all the banks parts, Ram Air Intake, boost tubes, monster ram and exhaust and after 6 hours of driving, the light came on for EGR. I drove 2 hours to my lake house, then hooked up the pontoon and drove another 4 into Canada before that light came on. The strange thing is, on my way back from Canada, the light went out and hasn't come back on. Im not concerned as it is a known issue and Banks is working on it, but apparently this doesn't happen with every install.
On a stock truck, this is only insurance. You will lose a little low end torque and power unfortunately. I wish Banks was more open about it, but his dyno results have been conspicuously missing. Still FAR better than needing a new engine.
Look inside the new Banks monster ram, nice and smooth, even roughly finished reduces air flow capacity. Dave I had an early 5.9 Cummins, about 1987 not in a truck but in a Massey Combine, inter cooled, that was rated at 220 engine horsepower. I don't think it had a grid heater. Let me tell you this, it made amazing power for sure. Full tank of corn , running 6.5mph in 140 bushe to the acre corn unloading on the go with a 6 row 30 inch centers corn head. In extremely cold weather I had to give it a little shot of WD 40 before starting,that Cummins would come to life Dave. Massey Combine went into receivership in early 1988 if I remember correctly. Oliver designed the machine but never produced 1 machine, they were in receivership 1985 or 1986. Now they make a bit bigger Cummins for the Dodge Ram I see from your videos. Clean air supply is critical for any engine to efficient and have long life. I was involved with pre cleaners for combust air back when the IH 400 series engines were new,it was dryer than a popcorn fart,the soil was exposed all winter without much snow or rain,it was a dust cloud we worked in, visibility was made 20 yards. About 5 hours and the air filter element meter was showing clogged filter. A new outer element was $90 man back in 1970 ! It had an inner safety element for a safety. The beginning of disposable air filters,if you tried to blow out with air you put a hole in it ! Block man from IH was cool to talk with and learn how to from. His exact words, don't ever remove the outer element without a new replacement, the seals on the ends of the element are designed to seal 1 time. Looking at the indentations he was correct, I saw several engines being tore down because of dirt in the engine,the rings go first, next it's hard starting in hot weather. These tractors were still under warranty when this happened. Cutting corners cost the owner the warranty claim.
I installed the monster ram on my 2011 about a year and a half ago. I had 162k miles on stock intake and when I took it off, the grid heater was fine and the killer nut was tight and secure. Here's what I have noticed in real world use since the swap. The piece of mind over the killer bolt issue is immeasurable, and worth the insane price. The change in performance and fuel economy is imperceptible. The coil intake heater is subpar in cold weather. Have noticed that truck is harder to start on days below zero. The manufacturers grid heater is much better for cold weather start ups. So, basically it comes down to, is it worth $1000 for peace of mind. That's a personal choice
The best option is an emissions weight loss program for the truck. Now that Chevron Deference was tossed out by SCOTUS, the EPA can't just make crap up anymore. Let the lawsuits begin!
Chevron means next to nothing when it comes to the EPA rules. IDK why everyone thinks it's going to be 2008 all over again. What company is going to take a chance on openly developing and marketing delete hardware/software in the USA, only to hope they get lucky at a trial vs with an EPA judge?
@@jeffs2809 Uh, federal courts have just applied Loper-Bright (the decision overturning Chevron) to the Dept of Ed. EPA is surely going to have pay the piper soon.
@@JeremyPrattigmp2u But that's still no guarantee the judge will rule against the epa rules. There's still the expense involved, which in most cases, will favor the government lawyers over the companies or individuals.
unfortunatly the carbon is not going away until that extra crap that is going to the intake horn goes away. It is a good system and I am going to be putting it on my truck (I don't need the emissions compliant though). From what I have seen I want the grid heater replacement so I goess I'm going to buy the emissions compliant one just going to be using a blockoff plate to get the heater. great content.
Would be great if you 2 did a video together but Gale blasphemes quite a lot and I really appreciate that there's no language in your video's, it's really much appreciated Dave😁👍🏻
My 3500 has 20k miles on it now and I think I’ll be ordering one of these soon. Maybe eliminating some of the problem causing parts too. Would love to have my truck on the channel for a few of these upgrades and to remove some of these problem parts…

I installed mine 3 years ago. I have had no problem passing Utah emissions. Banks provides the CARB compliance number on a sticker. The same sticker Dave stuck on the Monster Ram in the video. Also, if you have an issue with the emissions guy, Banks will go to bat for you to educate them.
It is, Banks is based in So Cal and works with CARB to ensure it's CARB approved.
@@JeremyPrattigmp2u 👍
I put one on my 16 because I absolutely love my truck. Wanted it to last as long as possible. And it does my it a lot more fun to drive
Excellent 👍
What would happen is you added the dimpled piston with what Banks does??? I love this channel!!
Speed of Air pistons, I agree!
Sadly Banks does not make a cold air intake for my 2024 GMC SIERRA-3500-HD 6-6L-GAS. I had to go with the S&B. But it fit like a glove and the install instructions were spot on. I like Banks a lot, just wish they had more products.
We don't offer one yet. We are still developing and testing the Ram Air intake and the Derringer for the 2024+ L5P Duramax. The 2024+ L5P Duramax trucks have new updates for emissions regulations and new computer systems. Because of these changes, they are even more sensitive to any major changes like air flow rate and temp. We must work with these changes, and unfortunately, that has forced us to change harness and programming on the MAF module that is included with the Ram Air intake. It's coming this year.
You have a '24 model truck.....
Just ordered the monster Ram...actually I showed this video to my buddy and he ordered one also. I don't want to crater an engine because of a faulty nut coming loose.
Thanks for the information Dave, you guys are awesome 👍🤘🤙
I put a banks intercooler and exhaust system on my 91 Dodge two 5012 valve and it made a huge difference milea ge and Performance and I just got done putting a intercooler on my 97 F350 what a difference !!! by the way, thank you for calling it and Engine during the whole episode
Why is there no recall on the original junk ? Should be a class action lawsuit for repairs caused by that!!
I installed mine on my 2014 cummins over the 4th of July weekend and I love it! Just be sure to follow the directions to the letter. Or have someone like Dave here do it for you. :-)
Dave has become a schill for Banks.
Installed my intake with boost tubes 10000km ago and I am super happy. Better throttle response, fuel economy. Great product.
They are the best in the business banks is the real deal
Man you guys are awesome. Don’t stop making videos Dave. We love you and your awesome team
These two guys working together is like the Batman Superman crossover movies. God bless I hope I see more
I have this exact Monster Ram on my two 6.7 Cummins. ABSOLUTELY the single best upgrade.... ESPECIALLY for a stock engine.
I also have the equivalent on mytwo 5.9 pickups. Heater grid is not an issue there, but improves spool-up and mpg even more than for the 6.7 engines.
PS, it does not increase HP or air flow, ie CFM. It broadens the power band by spooling the turbo faster & sooner. The head limits the air flow, so this increases the volume of air, because it's compressed air.
Bottom line; it literally makes a noticeable improvement.
Thanks for the share 👍
I added the 5" Monster Exhaust, Pedal Monster w/ iDash, Monster Air box (oiled), and Banks' intercooler tubes. I noticed much better power when pulling my 5th wheel. BTW, the Monster Exhaust eliminates the useless muffler which you don't need, the DPF acts as a muffler. The truck is very quite except for the cool sound of the turbo.
Are you sure about your statements? Banks talks about air density, not CFM. Do you have flowbench numbers to back up what you say?
@@jameseroh6544 I used the hillbilly method. I towed 19,000 lbs over the Malad Summit bone stock and then again after installing the Monster Ram. The truck didn't struggle like it did bone stock. Amazing how being able to breathe helped it along.
Just performed the same kit on my 2009 m has 135,000. The grid heated bolt still good but the grid was so built up with carbon looked half plugged. Test drove and seems to run freely and noise is gone , runs smooth and quiet . Great product , thanks to Gale Banks and his team , Parts fit perfectly .
My 12v cummins, I just installed a twin ram and it's really worth the money. Banks knows his stuff!
Gale Banks, please do a video with Dave!
The collaboration will happen.
Would love to hear a podcast featuring Dave and Mr. Gale Banks. It would be the ultimate knowledge download.
Currently running the ram intake, air filter, fully deleted, tuned, built rfe, truck has 241k miles (2012 3500 Cummins), makes a safe reliable 600-650hp to the wheels, tows everything under the sun like it isn’t there, blows the 37x12.5s off at any speed under 70 (really…these trucks make a tsunami wave of torque that doesn’t quit), gets me from my house in Maine to my property in Boston (165 miles on way) and BACK on 3/8th of a tank, and has NEVER left stranded. I’m into it currently for 38k cash doing much of the work myself. My personal truck. I have other Cummins work trucks all with the banks touch. Nothing compares. But a mildly built, lifted, big tire Cummins with cow catcher bumpers requires a direct hit from a meteorite to stop them. They’re INCREDIBLE. I’ll never go back to anything Duracrap.
You can just feel the power emanating from that monster intake😅 Gale Banks has had a lot of practice over the decades 😉
RAM will VOID your warranty in a New York second when they see that on your truck. Ask me how I know. My truck had 1300 miles on it when I upgraded to the Banks Monster Ram intake. I took my truck to the dealer for the first oil changed and the area service manager for Ram saw it and flagged me. They made me put my truck back to stock to get my warranty back ($1200) so I did but they didn't keep their word. Still NO Warranty. So Fvck Ram, I put the Banks back on and added everything they make for a 2022 3500. I bought it all. My truck runs good and I've NEVER been back to the dealer for anything. Not even when my wife needed a new car. She wanted a Jeep but she got a C8 Corvette instead. I love my truck But I HATE Stellantis. BANKS for the WIN!!
I'm located in Las Vegas, Nv. And all 5 Ram dealers here suck.
I was wondering this myself. I'm sure so were many others.
Must be a NY thing. People do this upgrade all the time and I've never heard of anyone complain about dealer warranties.
Installing a part like that cannot void any warranty unless the part is found to be the cause for the failure. That's just the stealership trying to con you out of money. Check the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
They violated the Magnuson Moss Act by voiding your warranty.
@@DJGRoc This!
What a great collaboration you and Gail
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best insurance you can ever put on a diesel is actually taking things off of it..... Iykwim
nidkwym
Depends on the diesel
Gae and Dave building an engine would be insane how has no one sponsored this yet???
Banks products are awesome!! Gale is a genius!
Those heater grid bolts should be a recall ! I believe Dodge should be responsible.
100%
Dodge doesn't care if it makes it past 100k it's good to go for them
The problem is that it's not designed by Dodge/Ram. It's all Cummins. All of the engines are purchased from Cummins.
Bingo. Has nothing to do with dodge/ram whatever the crap you want to call it. It's all cummins problems.
It’s built by Cummins.
Excellent Dave! Do they sell these to Australia? You know we pay DOUBLE the price for fuel than you guys? It sux ass!
Dave plugging how much he loves his kids is so warming
I installed one of these monster Ram intake elbows and it works great. Especially when towing heavy loads. My Cummins even idles way smoother than the stock intake ever did. There's a climb in Arizona on the 17 freeway from the Phoenix area going north and it pitches to a 6% grade and I've gained 10mph going up that grade towing my 5th wheel trailer plus gained 1 mile per gallon with my Monster Ram Intake.
I helped my buddy do this on a his 2020 ram. We had already deleted the EGR, DPF, and added a full 5" exhaust. The truck is tuned, and after we installed the monster ram, the power increase and engine responsiveness was noticeable immediately. Very worthwhile upgrade.
Can you do it to mine man I’ll pay you I live in Denver and I really don’t know any trusted mechanics
@@Yoxicofficial We did it ourselves. There are tons of videos online on how to to it. It's not hard. Just takes time and some hand tools. We did it in a weekend. MAKE SURE you put heavy and healthy battery chargers on the batteries during the reflashing process. I had a bad charger and we ended up bricking the ECU. Had to send it to canada to Optimal Welding for a reflash. Their tuning has been awesome.
See how far honesty, integretty and communication get you.all the way dave, gr8t vidieo.
I love mine and can tell a Big difference, and I can hear the air when I give it the throttle! I also did another thing that will make my engine last and no longer need the def, and I went with a 5" exhaust with no restrictions from front to back!
My throttle response is way quicker and I have to push the throttle less overall. Can definitely tell the difference
That’s good is the diesel mileage better or the same tho ?
@ about the same tbh. I notice a difference when I add fuel additives
Had my 2014 6.7L with 78,000 miles changed over to the Monster Ram. The first thing I noticed was at idle the engine was breathing. I bought the truck used and had always thought it sounded like it was gasping for air at idle. My mechanic didn't want me to spend this much money, but after he installed and saw the difference on my engine, he is now pushing the Banks system. And he said the factory grid heater bolts was still tight, but the carbon build up was really bad.
It breaths better at idle😅😅😅😅😅 tell me another joke , do you work for banks or any association of any kind ..
I have it, truly awesome product, Mr Banks is best, you need his monster ram.
Thank you for the great endorsement!
Banks trully knows his stuff, and so do you sir 🍻
Love from norway 🎉
i thank god for making fellas like gale banks and dave
The soot is such a killer. Take that EGR off asap.
I put A monster ram on my 2017 ram 6.7 as a precautionary measure because of the heater grid issue and it was amazing. I towed a loaded trailer 10,000 lbs plus 2,000 pounds in the bed from the west coast 1500 miles over US 40 and it felt like I was empty. The power increase was unbelievable everything else was stock non deleted.
hi dave love the channel thanks for educating us❤
Notice the 90 degree angle on the Monster Ram - it's shaped like that so as to keep the air flow performance, whilst allowing for such a angle of direction change. Clearly designed by someone with knowledge of fluid dynamics! 👍
There has been one issue with Banks and putting on the Ram Air Intake on these Ram vehicles. The check engine light comes on for EGR.
I added all the banks parts, Ram Air Intake, boost tubes, monster ram and exhaust and after 6 hours of driving, the light came on for EGR. I drove 2 hours to my lake house, then hooked up the pontoon and drove another 4 into Canada before that light came on.
The strange thing is, on my way back from Canada, the light went out and hasn't come back on. Im not concerned as it is a known issue and Banks is working on it, but apparently this doesn't happen with every install.
I work at a dealership. One of the only trucks I’ve seen with the monster ram, the heater element exploded and sent porcelain through the engine.
On a stock truck, this is only insurance. You will lose a little low end torque and power unfortunately. I wish Banks was more open about it, but his dyno results have been conspicuously missing. Still FAR better than needing a new engine.
thats awesome that it has E.O. number. thats absolutely fantastic
Look inside the new Banks monster ram, nice and smooth, even roughly finished reduces air flow capacity. Dave I had an early 5.9 Cummins, about 1987 not in a truck but in a Massey Combine, inter cooled, that was rated at 220 engine horsepower. I don't think it had a grid heater. Let me tell you this, it made amazing power for sure. Full tank of corn , running 6.5mph in 140 bushe to the acre corn unloading on the go with a 6 row 30 inch centers corn head. In extremely cold weather I had to give it a little shot of WD 40 before starting,that Cummins would come to life Dave. Massey Combine went into receivership in early 1988 if I remember correctly. Oliver designed the machine but never produced 1 machine, they were in receivership 1985 or 1986. Now they make a bit bigger Cummins for the Dodge Ram I see from your videos. Clean air supply is critical for any engine to efficient and have long life. I was involved with pre cleaners for combust air back when the IH 400 series engines were new,it was dryer than a popcorn fart,the soil was exposed all winter without much snow or rain,it was a dust cloud we worked in, visibility was made 20 yards. About 5 hours and the air filter element meter was showing clogged filter. A new outer element was $90 man back in 1970 ! It had an inner safety element for a safety. The beginning of disposable air filters,if you tried to blow out with air you put a hole in it ! Block man from IH was cool to talk with and learn how to from. His exact words, don't ever remove the outer element without a new replacement, the seals on the ends of the element are designed to seal 1 time. Looking at the indentations he was correct, I saw several engines being tore down because of dirt in the engine,the rings go first, next it's hard starting in hot weather. These tractors were still under warranty when this happened. Cutting corners cost the owner the warranty claim.
I have a 2021 Ram 3500. I'll be upgrading with a bunch of Banks equipment soon.
I would like to see a dyno comparing the before and after change in HP/torque.
We’ve been waiting for this collab for awhile!
Stay tuned.
I installed the monster ram on my 2011 about a year and a half ago. I had 162k miles on stock intake and when I took it off, the grid heater was fine and the killer nut was tight and secure. Here's what I have noticed in real world use since the swap. The piece of mind over the killer bolt issue is immeasurable, and worth the insane price. The change in performance and fuel economy is imperceptible. The coil intake heater is subpar in cold weather. Have noticed that truck is harder to start on days below zero. The manufacturers grid heater is much better for cold weather start ups. So, basically it comes down to, is it worth $1000 for peace of mind. That's a personal choice
You guys rock! Keep wrechin
Yep, true story banks. is where it's at..
Hey Dave!, put your seat belt on brother. We need you around for a while. That's another piece of insurance 🕊️
The best option is an emissions weight loss program for the truck. Now that Chevron Deference was tossed out by SCOTUS, the EPA can't just make crap up anymore. Let the lawsuits begin!
Chevron means next to nothing when it comes to the EPA rules. IDK why everyone thinks it's going to be 2008 all over again. What company is going to take a chance on openly developing and marketing delete hardware/software in the USA, only to hope they get lucky at a trial vs with an EPA judge?
@@jeffs2809 Uh, federal courts have just applied Loper-Bright (the decision overturning Chevron) to the Dept of Ed. EPA is surely going to have pay the piper soon.
@@jeffs2809 It's no longer an EPA judge, it's a real elected judge who doesn't defer to the agency for expertise.
@@JeremyPrattigmp2u But that's still no guarantee the judge will rule against the epa rules. There's still the expense involved, which in most cases, will favor the government lawyers over the companies or individuals.
Funniest thing is that all the geniuses making these so called rules fly to their conferences in their private jets 🤣
My 2 favorite automotive teams joined together :)
I put one on my 2012 Cummins. Definitely worth it!
I wanna see a collab with banks and you guys! That would be amazing!
I recognize that mechanic working on that truck !!!
unfortunatly the carbon is not going away until that extra crap that is going to the intake horn goes away. It is a good system and I am going to be putting it on my truck (I don't need the emissions compliant though). From what I have seen I want the grid heater replacement so I goess I'm going to buy the emissions compliant one just going to be using a blockoff plate to get the heater. great content.
Even better trick for lifted trucks, take the wheels off if it's in a lift so you can lower it
Or lower it to make it useable like they were in the early 90's and before.
my same thought even placing it on jackstand!
I pray they put back the emissions for legal purposes. Once my 5th gen is out of warranty I’m adding the Monster ram and deleting all that junk!
Dave and his crew are HI-QUALITY Technicians!
Be honest, so much carbon it looks like a commercial for a weber grill.
Would be great if you 2 did a video together but Gale blasphemes quite a lot and I really appreciate that there's no language in your video's, it's really much appreciated Dave😁👍🏻
Been watching y'all, and Mr. Banks videos this sounds right.
The best investment you can make for you and your family Dave is to put your seatbelt on. I'm from Utah and we are crazy drivers you know it lol
Gale Banks is an extremely intelligent man and probably the best spokesperson his company could have.

My 3500 has 20k miles on it now and I think I’ll be ordering one of these soon. Maybe eliminating some of the problem causing parts too. Would love to have my truck on the channel for a few of these upgrades and to remove some of these problem parts…
My parts accidentally fell off going down the road 🤷🏻 ironically it runs so much better. I went back to get them but I couldn’t find them.
5.9 with all banks upgrades best engine ever made.
Thanks. How much is installation?
🔥🔥🔥I have all the banks stuff in my TJ
RAM should just license this from Banks and make it stock. They’re sure charging enough for these trucks
Great video Dave
I would love to see how you would build a street LS to live while being turned up to about 500 HP. I trust your team, but not many others make that particular cut. PLEASE and Thank You
