Banks Monster-Ram Intake
Why Replace the Factory Grid Heater?
The factory grid heater on the 6.7L Cummins is a known weak point. When it fails, it can drop hardware into the intake and cause serious engine damage.
The Monster-Ram eliminates that risk by replacing the restrictive factory setup with a high-flow intake plate and proprietary fuel line.
Benefits you will feel immediately:
• Faster throttle response
• Stronger airflow, up to 88.3 percent over stock
• Improved fuel efficiency
• Reduced intake restriction
• Maintains full emissions compliance
No tuning required. Bolt-on performance.
What Makes the Monster-Ram Different?
Unrestricted Airflow
Stock intake elbows are small and restrictive. The Monster-Ram uses a larger, smoother internal path to reduce pressure drop and increase mass airflow.
More air density means:
• Cleaner combustion
• Lower stress on the turbo
• Better efficiency under load
• Improved performance when towing or hauling
Four 1/8 Inch NPT Ports
Want to monitor boost, temperature, or pressure?
The Monster-Ram includes four 1/8 inch NPT ports for sensors and accessories. Perfect for built trucks, work trucks, and anyone who wants real data.
Cold Starts in Alberta: Why Dual Heat Matters
Edmonton winters are brutal. We see -30°C regularly.
The Monster-Ram is available in single or dual heat configurations, with 750 watt and 1500 watt coil heaters. You can even add up to 3000 watts combined heat for extreme cold performance.
With proper block heat, testing has shown cold starts down to -34°C.
For daily drivers, fleet trucks, and heavy haulers, that reliability is huge.
Performance You Can Measure
Compared to stock intake flow around 38.6 lbs per minute, the Monster-Ram flows over 72 lbs per minute with the high-flow intake plate and coil heater.
That is not marketing fluff.
That is airflow you can feel.
Expect:
• Crisper throttle response
• Better drivability under boost
• Reduced intake restriction
• Stronger top-end breathing
Stack it with a tune and supporting mods, and it only gets better.
Who Is This Upgrade For?
Who Is This Upgrade For?
This intake makes sense if you:
• Tow heavy in Alberta winters
• Run larger tires and added weight
• Want to protect your engine from grid heater failure
• Care about efficiency and longevity
• Are building a clean, reliable Cummins setup
Whether your Ram is a work truck or weekend hauler, airflow is the foundation of performance.
