A young engineer joined Rolls Royce and increased the power of the V12 Merlin engine fitted to the British Spitfire fighter aircraft. If I remember correctly they increased the power by 30% by redesigning the air intake.
I sold banks in Coeur d'Alene Idaho for 15 years for a company called custom truck. I sold a lot of it. People ask why I said because of their engineering and because of their zero returns I had very very very very very very few in the 15 years that I had to return anything. All their products are engineered and designed I've been to their factory and plant in Azusa I've taken their certificate programs and I'll stand behind him 100% and it was so hard to speak to customers about why you needed to do a high ran intake expand your intercooler before you did a tuner etc.. Great Video!!!😊
Def need to hook up with gale banks I'm sure he could seriously add some good Input and ideas to different techniques on the monster engine builds.....plus gale would prob live to collab with you guys
Case has a new line of engines for their equipment that does not use DEF or EGR and is emissions compliant. The auto manufactures need to take a lesson. Thank goodness for people like Gale Banks.
Amazing technology is right around the corner. We're keeping our eyes on engine manufacturers. In fact, Toyota has some interesting patents regarding diesel combustion.
@@JonBecker81From what I am hearing is that most of the DEF we get is coming from Russia and its made from pig urine if this is true but that's why its so expensive to buy because we don't make it here in the states . I've heard this from 2 people I know that have diesel trucks one who works at a Ford dealership and owns a Ford diesel & the other who owned a Dodge ram diesel truck that didn't have the Cummins engine but some V8 I think it was that he had some shop take all the DEF stuff off of it and he started to have all kinds of issues with it where the crank sensor went bad & it stopped running on him and he took it in to the Dodge dealership and they had a upgrade where they could use the cam sensor upgrade so it would run again because changing the crank sensor is a pain in the ass & when they went to do this upgrade they couldn't because this guy he used wiped the computer and the dealership couldn't do this upgrade so my friend had to haul his truck back home and ended up bringing it to another friend of mine who has a lift to pull the transmission out to change the crank timing sensor by the flywheel of the engine & he ended up buying the exhaust pipe and all the crap it needed to run the DEF again because this guy who working on it kept it all plus to top it off he had to buy a brand new computer for it because this hack he used wiped the computer clean so it would shut all of the DEF off for this upgrade. Once he got this expensive headache done he sold the truck to a dealership and got rid of it and said he was going to buy a Cummins because they weren't having these issues like this other diesel Dodge truck engine was having . I can't remember what or who were building these engines for Dodge but it definitely wasn't a Cummins but some foreign company . I rode in this truck and it had good power and the fuel mileage was really good but once it crashed it was a nightmare he said & very expensive to change it back to stock again and he's lucky because what he & this shop did was illegal as hell because our government doesn't want people messing with the emissions on the new diesel engines and if you get caught you can get a huge fine plus jail time but what's funny is our military diesel trucks don't have to comply with any emissions standards .
Installed the Monster Ram on my 2021 3500 dually. The engine ran smoother which was more quiet as well. The connectors were a pain to some degree to pull apart. Super pleased to have this upgrade.

The manufacturer should be paying for all engines damaged by those bolts falling into the engines, and there should have been a factory recall for them.
I deleted, tuned and added a complete HSP diesel performance system to my 14 LML Duramax plus 5” exhaust, PPE 3 1/2” down pipe and 165 lift pump. Gained tons of horsepower major increase in MPG and most of all peace of mind. No more egr, no other bull crap to ruin an engine. Not “50 state compliant” but I refuse to neuter AND cut short the life of my truck.
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.
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 👍🤘🤙
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.
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 .
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 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.
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. :-)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great video ! i Definitely agree !!! i Was Wondering if it was 50 state approved. Since i Live in the Greatest nanny state of all states ( California ). if you change anything from stock - Prepare to Fight with the Smog Check Guy unless You Have Paperwork in Hand or that Tag on that Part. Very happy they Put that 50 state approved tag on that unit !!! Really helps with the " Smog Police "
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.
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.
Went to banks for air Ram and the differential cover I previously ordered … 5-6 hour drive they had me out around noon. Great customer service Truck Runs great… I’d do it myself just very windy and unpredictable weather is my shithole SF
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! 👍
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
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.
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.
@@JS-zb1vv I understand and want to but I live in a state that requires emissions in most counties. I’m seriously considering registering in another county and deleting.
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.
On lifted trucks, instead of letting the air out of the tires and potentially damaging the tires I just take the front wheels off since it's already get up on the hoist. It takes 5 minutes to just remove the front wheels, than you can drop the truck almost right down to the rotors.
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.
My heater grid failure happened at 55k. I got lucky. Ram replaced it and used my extended warranty. I put on a Monster Ram after that warranty expired.

@@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.
My oil alone is so much cleaner now after I cleaned everything really well during the process. I love it.
My oil stays very clean with weight loss reduction.
Man you guys are awesome. Don’t stop making videos Dave. We love you and your awesome team
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. :-)
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 🤣
These two guys working together is like the Batman Superman crossover movies. God bless I hope I see more
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.
You can just feel the power emanating from that monster intake😅 Gale Banks has had a lot of practice over the decades 😉
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.....
Best insurance you can ever put on a diesel is actually taking things off of it..... Iykwim

Depends on the diesel
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.
Great video ! i Definitely agree !!! i Was Wondering if it was 50 state approved.
Since i Live in the Greatest nanny state of all states ( California ). if you change anything from stock - Prepare to Fight with the Smog Check Guy unless You Have Paperwork in Hand or that Tag on that Part. Very happy they Put that 50 state approved tag on that unit !!! Really helps with the " Smog Police "
Banks is on top of all that CARB nonsense. 👍🏼
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 👍
What a great collaboration you and Gail
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
It breaths better at idle😅😅😅😅😅 tell me another joke , do you work for banks or any association of any kind ..
Would love to hear a podcast featuring Dave and Mr. Gale Banks. It would be the ultimate knowledge download.
Excellent Dave! Do they sell these to Australia? You know we pay DOUBLE the price for fuel than you guys? It sux ass!
Went to banks for air Ram and the differential cover I previously ordered … 5-6 hour drive they had me out around noon. Great customer service Truck Runs great… I’d do it myself just very windy and unpredictable weather is my shithole SF
I actually got about 0.5 mpg better at 75 & 0.3-4 at 85 mph. 2010 Laramie just hit 194,000
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! 👍
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.
See how far honesty, integretty and communication get you.all the way dave, gr8t vidieo.
Dave has become a schill for Banks.
Dave plugging how much he loves his kids is so warming
Why is there no recall on the original junk ? Should be a class action lawsuit for repairs caused by that!!
Be honest, so much carbon it looks like a commercial for a weber grill.
What would happen is you added the dimpled piston with what Banks does??? I love this channel!!
Speed of Air pistons, I agree!
Gae and Dave building an engine would be insane how has no one sponsored this yet???
hi dave love the channel thanks for educating us❤
Dave and Gale need to do a collaboration video.
We’ve been waiting for this collab for awhile!
Stay tuned.
thats awesome that it has E.O. number. thats absolutely fantastic
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
RAM should just license this from Banks and make it stock. They’re sure charging enough for these trucks
I have a 2021 Ram 3500. I'll be upgrading with a bunch of Banks equipment soon.
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.
I put one on my 2012 Cummins. Definitely worth it!
Been watching y'all, and Mr. Banks videos this sounds right.
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.
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.
Gale Banks, please do a video with Dave!
The collaboration will happen.
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!
Banks products are awesome!! Gale is a genius!
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.
EGR's. Destroying diesel engines since conception.
@@cwilks5592just delete it !!!! The federal government doesn’t have to have any of the emissions on their vehicles and get the made without it .
@@JS-zb1vv I understand and want to but I live in a state that requires emissions in most counties. I’m seriously considering registering in another county and deleting.
@@cwilks5592that blows !
@@cwilks5592
Don't know many states that do emission testing on diesels
Yup. And banks fan boys love EGRs while Dave actually knows engines and knows EGRs are bad news. We don't need banks.
You guys rock! Keep wrechin
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.
I have it, truly awesome product, Mr Banks is best, you need his monster ram.
Thank you for the great endorsement!
Gale Banks is an extremely intelligent man and probably the best spokesperson his company could have.

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!
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!
I would like to see a dyno comparing the before and after change in HP/torque.
My 2 favorite automotive teams joined together :)
I'm a huge fan of Gale Banks, he's a gem of a person👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
5.9 with all banks upgrades best engine ever made.
Dave and his crew are HI-QUALITY Technicians!
I wanna see a collab with banks and you guys! That would be amazing!
Not so much the CFM, but maintaining the air density. Best achieved using the banks intercooler
On lifted trucks, instead of letting the air out of the tires and potentially damaging the tires I just take the front wheels off since it's already get up on the hoist. It takes 5 minutes to just remove the front wheels, than you can drop the truck almost right down to the rotors.
First thing I put on my ram. Got rid of the grid heater.
Side by side I thought I would notice a difference after it was installed. Nope! Oh well
He sounds JUST like his dad!!
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.
Hey Dave!, put your seat belt on brother. We need you around for a while. That's another piece of insurance 🕊️
Love these videos. Dave is dope
Great video Dave
My heater grid failure happened at 55k. I got lucky. Ram replaced it and used my extended warranty. I put on a Monster Ram after that warranty expired.
🔥🔥🔥I have all the banks stuff in my TJ
Have a Gale Banks power intake on my ecodiesel, made that much more torquey and the fuel economy is around 26 mpg average, 31-32 on the hwy.
I recognize that mechanic working on that truck !!!
