Thanks for sharing. I plan on doing this to my 2012 once my slush fund is replenished. Great video!

Nice installation

Thank you.

Thanks for video. waiting on the egr kit to come in and i'm doing it all at one time. Also doing the ccv filter why its apart. Got delayed waiting for the cp3 recall to be done and its done so its time to let it breath. I'm stoked to get the monster installed and get rid of the grid heater.

Outstanding. It’s not crazy to do, just be careful of the fuel rail pressure sensor. Def clears up the engine bay too.

Small issue here. When working on cars you want to remove the "Negative terminal" first not the positive. .If your vehicle has a negative ground,prevents arcing. And remember ...Positive goes on FIRST ,comes off LAST, Great job btw, awesome intake!

You won’t be disappointed. It’s a spoils kit for sure.

NIce job. I had the Banks upgrade done to my 2017. I wimped out and had my mechanic do it for me: about $700.00 labor for the install. I was afeared my back wouldn't hold up: broke it years ago and got some fusion going on.I did mine for the grid heater stud/nut issue that will trash the $30,000.00 engine.

The grid heater blowing up my engine is why I wanted to get rid of it. I went with the Banks because it did that, bigger air horn and the integrated glow plug. I only found one other option for heating up the air and it was a space with a threaded hole for a glow plug.

@@chiefyoung I had that happen to my 2017...after some great dissatisfaction on my part (bitching to the dealership) they "only" charged me $2800 but said it would take 2 days to get the engine, 2 days to install it....42 days later I get my truck back. The rental car cost me $4000. so total was $6800. So far I had the turbo go out twice, the turbo actuator once and a multitude of other engine issues....Do you think I got a lemon?...lol Oh they quoted me $32,000 for a new (remanufactured) engine. When I was flipping through the paper work, when picking up my truck, I saw an email from the Ram representative to the dealer on the price..$17,500 for the engine I took a picture because they wouldn't let me have the paperwork...Then they wanted me to delete the picture...I did but recovered it as soon as I left.....I will never buy anything from that dealership again ( I have bought 2 new Rams in the past).....Won't name the dealership but it was somewhere between Roseville and Grass Valley. Soooo long story short...Once the warranty is up on this engine I will be putting in the Banks.....You can bank on that!

Looks cool, but at a pretty high cost and a lot of work. If you think you're going to actually feel or see a performance difference without other modifications, you're sadly mistaken. That is, unless you're subject to the placebo effect. LOL. On the plus side, it does eliminate the possibility of that grid bolt falling into your intake, but there are much less expensive ways to accomplish that. I'll give Gale credit for one thing, he's a helluva salesman. ;-)

My reason for this install was solely to get rid of the grid heater but I still wanted a way to heat the incoming air for cold season starts. The Banks kit was the only kit I could find with that option.

CARB has no effect on me since I don’t live in CA. Maui Brewing has some good beers, I prefer the Coconut Hiwa.

Great video. Any recommended special tools? Looks like you didn't have any trouble with the fuel lines, other than being careful with the sensor.

@chiefyoung

4 ай бұрын

Nothing special, other than a torque wrench. It was a lot easier than I thought, I had the kit over a month before putting it on.

I think the year you installed on is no longer CARB certified. So, technically not legal anymore. The install will eventually cause a P2609 code which Banks is troubleshooting. California pulled the certification.

So you installed a few block-off plates. Which ones exactly? I see EGR. Tuning would be required.

@chiefyoung

6 ай бұрын

The plates are on top of the exhaust manifold, I’m not sure which, they’re all pretty basic designs. To do the EGR delete you do have to do a tune.

Looks good, what other plans for the truck?

3” lift, black wheeled and bedliner for sure. Looking into the Bank Cold Air Intake.

did you notice any loss in boost pressure increasing the intake size like that, just wondering because iam looking at Banks intake as well.

I haven’t noticed any issues with boost at all. Made it sound deeper and throatier too.

Other than waiting for a new part…how many hours do you think I should plan for the installation?

@chiefyoung

Depends on your skill level and tools you have available. It took me total about 5hrs of actual wrench turning.

So I could install on a bone stock 6.7 Cummins? Would it throw any codes?

@chiefyoung

5 ай бұрын

No codes. It’s setup as an upgrade. A lot easier to install than expected too. Just be careful of the fuel rail pressure sensor on the back when you’re taking it apart.

So did u have to tune it after this seems to be missing on these videos

@chiefyoung

No tune required for it. For the install the only change electronically is the hot wire from the grid heater to the glow plug.

Chief, was it worth the time and money? What did you notice as far as power or even sound?

@chiefyoung

4 ай бұрын

I did it as an investment to prevent the grid heater bolt from dropping into the cylinders. I haven’t any difference in power but the sound is a bit deeper, more throaty. You can get away with only replacing the grid heater plate but I wanted to make sure I still had a heat source for those cooler days.

I currently live on an island so mileage is skewed and no real option to see a power change but it did change the sound a little. I’m sure it did gain power since the new horn is bigger and flows much better.
