Description
The Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake and Killer Grid Heater Upgrade is a direct bolt-on performance upgrade for 2019-2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L Cummins trucks. Engineered to completely eliminate the failure-prone factory grid heater, this system prevents catastrophic engine damage while drastically improving airflow, throttle response, and fuel economy.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Eliminates Engine Failure Risk: Replaces the stock grid heater, preventing the notorious "killer grid heater bolt" from falling into cylinder #6.
-
Massive Airflow Gains: Outflows the restrictive stock intake by 88.3%, lowering exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) and raising boost without increasing drive pressure.
-
Complete Upgrade Kit: Includes the Banks High-Flow Intake Plate, High-Flow Coil Heater, and Upgraded Fuel Line.
-
50-State Emissions Compliant: Fully street legal in all 50 states (CARB EO # D-161-170).
Vehicle Fitment:
-
2019–2024 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins Diesel
-
2019–2024 Ram 3500 6.7L Cummins Diesel
-
Note: Also fits dual-alternator engines. Does NOT fit Chassis Cab models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the stock Ram 6.7L grid heater fail?
A: Over time, heat and vibration cause the nut and stud on the factory grid heater to come loose. Because of the engine's design, this bolt falls directly into the intake manifold and into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic engine failure.
Q: Will this affect my truck's cold start ability?
A: No. The Monster-Ram kit includes a 750-watt Banks High-Flow Coil Heater that maintains reliable OEM-style cold-weather starting without restricting intake airflow.
Q: Does the Banks Monster-Ram require custom tuning?
A: No. The Monster-Ram works seamlessly with your truck's factory ECU calibration. You get maximum airflow gains and full 50-state emissions compliance without needing a tuner or custom flash.
Q: How much more airflow does the Monster-Ram provide compared to stock?
A: The Monster-Ram flows 72.7 lbs/min of mass air versus the stock intake's 38.6 lbs/min—an 88.3% increase in mass airflow that lowers exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) and improves throttle response.
Q: Is this system fully 50-state street legal?
A: Yes. The Banks Monster-Ram is 50-state emissions compliant under CARB Executive Order (EO) D-161-170, making it 100% legal for street use in all 50 states.
Q: Does this kit fit dual-alternator Ram 6.7L trucks?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible with dual-alternator Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L Cummins models (2019–2024). (Note: Standard pickup fitment only; does not fit Chassis Cab models).
Q: Can I attach boost gauges or water-meth injection to this intake elbow?
A: Yes. The Monster-Ram features four built-in 1/8-inch NPT ports, making it easy to add boost gauges, temperature sensors, or water-methanol injection nozzles.
