Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake and Killer Grid Heater Upgrade - Black Finish PN. 42798-B FOR 2013-2018 DODGE RAM 2500/3500 6.7L CUMMINSIncludes Coil Heater, High-Flow Cast Intake Plate, Proprietary #1 Fuel Line.Banks Dual Heat Capable Monster-Ram improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. The patent-pending system prevents severe engine damage by replacing the failure-prone killer grid heater with the Banks high-flow cast intake plate. The factory heater can't fail if it's not there. Monster-Ram is the only 50-state emissions-compliant RAM intake elbow.Fitment Note: Also Fits Dual-Alternator EnginesDoes Not Fit Chassis Cab Key Features Raises boost without increasing turbine drive pressure Larger and less restrictive than stock intake Improves flow of oxygen-rich air into cylinders Quicker throttle response Optimizes air pressure and distribution Outflows stock over 88.3% 3-3/8 inch inlet Four 1/8 inch NPT ports Accommodates stock mounting points Includes proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware Red powder-coated, Black or Raw finish Why It's Better A True Monster Of A RAM The all new Monster-Ram intake for the 6.7L Cummins in your Ram lives up to its name. It is an absolute MONSTER. We pulled out all the stops when developing it.Gain throttle response you can feel and insurance your wallet will appreciate. What It Does The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min with Banks’ New Coil Heater and High-Flow Cast Intake Plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF. That is a huge 88.3% improvement over stock you can feel! The proprietary design raises boost without increasing back-pressure at the turbine. The result is improved engine response, efficiency, and headroom for daily driving and heavy hauling. There are two devices on your Cummins engine that increase air density; the turbocharger and the intercooler. Anything in the system that doesn’t create air density, cuts air density. We designed the Monster-Ram to get back that lost air density. It's All About Mass Air Flow The secret to the Monster-Ram's performance is not just airflow, but the quality and weight of the air it flows. Your Cummins engine is limited in the volume of air it can flow through its 6 cylinders even at max RPM. By increasing the mass of the air delivered to each cylinder, your stock-tuned engine will breathe more efficiently with less stress, and set the stage for power gains when stacked with a tune. Now Dual Heat Capable Upgrade to 1500 Watts The Monster-Ram Kit includes a Banks 750-watt coil heater. Prevents Broken Bolt Engine Failure Cummins Ticking Time Bomb Due to heat, vibration, and time, a stud and nut from the factory heater grid have been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Thanks to the engine's 5° rake, the broken bolt rolls downhill into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head. Leaving Stock Heater Chokes Performance And, while you’re waiting for the BD screw to arc, melt, and fall into the intake manifold, the stock grid heater collects more soot and reduces airflow. Banks Monster-Ram eliminates the grid heater. There’s nothing to fail or collect soot. For peak performance, the Monster-Ram includes a custom-machined high-flow cast intake plate. This plate is machined to the optimum thickness and features an oversized inlet CNC port-matched to the Monster-Ram for zero restriction and maximum air density Unrivaled Airflow Our engineers designed an all-new heating solution for the Monster-Ram.This new Banks exclusive coil heater sits vertically inside the Monster-Ram without hindering airflow. This allows the factory grid heater to be replaced with the Banks High-Flow Intake Plate.This eliminates the risk of engine failure due to parts loosening and falling into the engine while maintaining OEM-like cold weather engine start performance.
