PowerPack® System

PICKUP/EXCURSION: PowerPack rips the lid off '99-and-up Power Stroke potential, utilizing Banks' exclusive Techni-Cooler intercooler assembly and TwinRam manifold inlet to pack more cool, dense air into engine. The difference is stunning: with top gains of +104 hp, +224 lb-ft torque and 14% improved towing mileage, your Power Stroke can out-run, out-pull, out-perform and out-last any diesel on the planet.

Important: Some vehicle configurations require an extension kit for proper fit.

Test vehicle: 1999 F-350 crew-cab dually • 2-wheel drive • 4R100 4-speed automatic trans • Towing combined vehicle weight: 20,000 lbs.

7.3L PowerPack & Banks Brake

2009-06-19

Good Morning,

My name is Steve and I have a 1997 Ford F350 Crew Cab, 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel, 4 Wheel Drive, 4.10 gear ratio, for which I purchased a Banks PowerPack, Monster Exhaust, SmartLock Transmission Module, TransCommand Module, and a Banks Exhaust Brake in October 2007.

The entire system was installed in January 2008.  I just recently had the opportunity to pull my 36 Foot Coachman Fifth Wheel Trailer any extended distance.

With my truck weighing in at about 7,200 pounds, the trailer net weight of 13, 095 pounds (dry), I was grossing in at about 21,000 pounds.  I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and needless to say we have lots of mountains between Fairbanks and Anchorage.

This is only the second long trip (over 800 miles) that I pulled the trailer on.  The first was without the Banks Upgrades.  That was a nightmare going up hills at 18 mph.  The slowest that the heaviest grade pulled my speed down to was 38 mph.  Much better than 18mph up Thompson Pass coming out of Valdez before the Banks Install!  The Intercooler must have had a profound effect on engine temperatures as the engine temperature never even reached the "O" in normal.

The Banks Upgrades worked perfectly, on the trip down late at night, I never even touched the brakes as the Banks Brake was able to keep the  truck and trailer easily under control.  The torque and horsepower available from the upgrades was awesome.

P.S.  The Banks Installation instructions were awesome.  Especially liked the drawings for the cut outs for the intercooler showing the spot welds!

Thanks,

Steve P., North Pole, Alaska
