Josh thanks for the info I was about to go with a banks. Now i will be going with the S&B I like that gasket at the back of the box great video thanks for sharing!
If you cut that plastic behind the grill, don't you end up with water getting into your filter box? I was also told if you take your truck off road to not switch the OEM air filter, has anyone else been told this?
Geeeeeeeeez, I literally just installed the banks system on my 06 6.0 f350 Powerstroke, now i feel like shit. lol. Took me about 40 mins or so. I should have listened to the service agent at Xtreme Diesel, he told me to go with the S&B unit, but didn't mention details on why, I went with Banks because of their engineering experience. I also have the MBRP 3.5'' turbo down pipe to a 4'' with a muffler, SCT X3 Can tunes and custom stuff. Hope the banks unit does what its intended to do, at that point i'm happy. When i look through my grille I am able to see the front of the banks oval filter, this is due to us removing that fiber glass piece to achieve the ram air intake dynamic. We had this piece removed with the stock air filter unit as well. Most importantly I haven't noticed any major differences in performance but the whistle is noticeable louder. I run tunes, so that's where you get your major performance gains from so the air filter systems gains aren't as noticeable in my opinion, im at 482bhp 700 plus torque. Sorry for the long story. Thank you for taking time out to post videos, I watch them all the time, nice and simple very informative. Good stuff 6.0 Doctor.
Great content. Just subscribed brother. I don’t have a diesel or a ford. But I do have a question.I have a 2012 Sierra 1500 5.3 and it’s the Ls motor. I was thinking about a cold air setup. Was thinking about the S&B intake. What do you think about The S&B ? Thanks brother.
12:26 DieselTech Ron replaces this green o-ring with a #020 brown Viton o-ring in case someone is interested in that. Https://th-cam.com/video/_Wguo18o5ns/w-d-xo.html P.S. This install video was super helpful!!
Snb, i may pull the trigger, ive been living in denial telling myself how great the stock filter is and lying to myself because i didnt wanna fork over what aftermarket setups run, but if i was able to tally up jusr all the filter clips ive displaced from the multiple 6.0s ive owned not to mention the clips i swiped from my brothers,5-10 a year ,over decade at 15 bucks apiece
Awsome video i put the S&B airbox in with the Paper filtef...When i put my KC stage 2 in my2005 Excursion..I saw same thing with the fiberglass bloking been bothering me !! Any vids on how to cut it out i can do it just worride ill comprimse any support...Just squarge upa hole and Go cutoff wheel on it?...and i gota find a soft seal for top your rite on that!
Hey thanks for the video, great stuff. Any chance of a video on after market intercoolers, pipes and the elbow. Banks, mishimoto, csf what do you like. Thanks
I went with a BD Diesel Intercooler because it was on sale, mishimoto not much different but has the better warranty if you plan on crashing and taking out the Cac and I, went with sinister Diesel pipes and boots clamps and also the intake elbow and with the BD Intercooler they include the cold side pipe to get rid of the plastic stock one and also the boots and clamps. Hope that helps if you haven't already upgraded. Also I, did go with the mishimoto radiator, but bullet proof Diesel sells a comparable one for less.
Nice video Josh! How is the S&B air box or factory box get air if the front is blocked off by the grille? Also, I noticed that the truck with the banks air box is missing the cooling fan inner shroud. Is the inner shroud even needed? I ask because my truck came with no inner shroud when I purchased it last week. Thanks
its not missing the cooling fan inner shroud. the truck has dual alternators and the inner shroud is different than single alternator. the inner shroud holds the wire up for the clutch.
I know it's hard to diagnose over a keyboard, but I have a 06 f250 194k miles.... The truck is completely stock expect, egr delete, 5inch exhaust, small 60hp tune, running cat elc coolant. Truck still has stock head bolts, my Delta's sometimes will reach 25 plus when towing. Ect 198-200,eot will be 220 plus on a hot day. Right now the Degas bottle isn't puking but has before.. I do have a black oily film in my Degas bottle(looks like soot kinda) and I know my oil cooler needs to be replaced because my Delta's are higher then normal...im really hoping it's not my heads and just a clogged oil cooler. My question to u will a clogged oil cooler cause pressure in the coolant system even once the egr has been deleted?I couldn't really find a answer on the forms... Also I plan on doing the heads myself. Do u recommend replacing the lifters and push rods? I know it's more work but I don't mind pulling the engine and spending the extra time to replace them.. How common is lifter failure after studs?
Aldo Bustamante I would replace oil cooler. Yes oil cooler will make it puck coolant. And I would replace heads and replace push rods. Lifter failure is more common on bullet proof jobs that take .010 off heads and done use updated pushrods.
@@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 thanks for the info 😀 do you recommend just replacing the oil cooler first see how it does as far as the oily film and pressure in my Degas system? Or is it a waste and go ahead and tear heads off?
Aldo Bustamante it’s never a waste to do the job right the first time and be done with it. If I have a 6.0 that potentially has blown head gaskets and oil cooler, I’m putting new heads on with studs and oil cooler. And coolant filter kit on top.
@@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 Not trying to take over this conversation but do you have any recommendations for new heads? I spoke to a local machine shop and they want $1100 to redo the heads.

@@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 hi im in san gabrel valley L. A. County where is your shop located? More than likely need my headgaskets replaced on ly 6.0 07 😢
I am looking to get a little more fuel economy but at the same increase hp. I have a 2004 f350 6.0 4x4 with 40k original miles. Done the blue spring already, what do you recommend me to do to it. I am getting around 9-10 miles per gallon
Josh - Thank you for taking the time to video this information for those of us out here that would like to learn. Appreciate all your help. Gave you a like and I subscribed. :)
@7:10 I'm having the same issue with my banks intake! Damn worm clamp falls off all the time, its on tight as hell and seated properly but it will slip off. This could potentially destroy a turbo, I do a lot of forest road driving and i suspect this is the reason my stock turbo may be failing. I AM NOT HAPPY with my Banks intake at all. And it cost me almost 380 bucks!
Hank Clingingsmith fact. No it doesn’t. Flow bench says other wise. The other solid point is the way the factory air box is not completely sealed up after the filter and let’s debris into the motor really shows a lot.
Earl James s&b offer dry or oiled filters and have filter raps. We are actually going to shoot another video using a flow bench. We want to compare s&b, banks, and stock.
@@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 thank you for the quick response and apologize…I kept reading more comments and realized you had already answered that question…i had already made cut and thought about rain after I had made the cut…thanks again 👍🏻
I know this is an old vid but very helpful. I have an 07 PS with 310K miles using a stock intake. If I swap out to S&B will I throw a CEL or does the truck have to relearn the numbers? Thanks.
Josh thanks for the info I was about to go with a banks. Now i will be going with the S&B I like that gasket at the back of the box great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video Josh. I have the S&B and am very pleased with it in every way.
Ive had the s&B unit for about 3 years..no issues other than filter gets dirty pretty easily
Good thing I decided to research banks vs S&B. Looks like S&B for me! Thanks for the great video!
It's not always about volume..it's also about velocity of the air.
This is the best video on this I’ve ever seen I was looking into after market filters and I’ll definitely be going with the S&B now
Considering that the banks system is $100 more expensive and doesn’t even show as much effort towards the product
About to install my S&B cai into my '05. Glad I came across this video.
If you cut that plastic behind the grill, don't you end up with water getting into your filter box? I was also told if you take your truck off road to not switch the OEM air filter, has anyone else been told this?
Most aftermarket filters have rubber tips so any moisture will bounce off and not get sucked in. A sleeve helps as well…

S&b is better but 99% Banks is usually a good bet.just not on this one.
Thanks for the great video!! Any chance of one showing intercooler,charge air pipes and elbow up grades??? Any set ups you recommend?
Haha ended up here looking for a video for S&B cold side intercooler pipes.

Dude, buy a rolling cart to work on, it was a game changer for me
Dave Taschuk I have 4 of them. All full of parts. I usually don’t work on trucks in the back of the shop like that.
Fair enough, I’ve been there working on misc stuff on the floor, not vehicle stuff though.

Ficm tune will give you the best increase in mpg. Contact powerstroke customs.
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 more area of filtration..... Where is the dyno proof showing the gains
Banks has em lol
And if there is anyone (in Florida) watching this and would like to sell their stock filter setup please let me know. I’m looking for one
I'm about to swap mine out, '06 6.0.
Glad to see ya ,injoy your videos,,,first time in a long while,

Doing any work must be a pain in the ass unless you’re 7’ tall
If your under 5'9 buy a Corolla
Does water get in there after you cut the hole for the ram air when it rains?
I live in Washington. It rains here more than any state in the country. If anything water adds power. The filter is oiled.

it's ok to call the banks junk !
