  Frequently Asked Questions

  What causes the 6.7L Cummins grid heater failure?

  The factory heater grid connection on the 6.7L Cummins passes high current through a retaining bolt. Over time, heat and vibration cause this bolt to melt, loosen, and break off. Because of the engine's 5-degree rake, the broken bolt rolls downhill directly into cylinder #6, causing severe internal engine damage.

  How does the Banks Monster-Ram prevent grid heater failure?

  The Banks Monster-Ram completely removes the stock grid heater and its problematic retaining bolt from the intake manifold. It replaces it with a custom-machined High-Flow Intake Plate and a vertical Banks Coil Heater that sits safely inside the Monster-Ram without obstructing airflow or posing a risk to your engine.

  Is the Banks Monster-Ram 50-state emissions legal?

  Yes. The Banks Monster-Ram is the only 50-state emissions-compliant (CARB E.O. D-161-170) intake elbow for the RAM 6.7L Cummins on the market that delivers these massive airflow gains.

  Will the Monster-Ram fit if my Cummins has dual alternators?

  Yes, the Banks Monster-Ram Intake is engineered to clear factory dual-alternator setups without requiring any modifications. Note that this specific kit does not fit Cab & Chassis models.
