Specifications
Maximum safe power is all automatic with a Derringer — you just choose your preferred power level and enjoy the ride.
Why It's Better
A Tuner Above The Rest
Experience huge gains in torque and power gains across the full operating rpm range, starting right off idle and marching to the shift point in each gear. Derringer actively and safely optimizes our dyno tuned calibrations in real-time thanks to its OBD-II connectivity.
With access to rich data, the Derringer adapts using multiple data inputs, such as throttle position, rpm, vehicle speed, AFR, knock, coolant temperature, and EGT, to maximize power delivery and consistency in all driving conditions. Derringers electronics are enclosed in an easily concealed compact housing and integrates with other existing Banks electronics such as the iDash or PedalMonster.
Choose Your Power
Derringer has 6 levels, adjustable on-the-fly using the iDash.
Level 3 is designed for work use and has a great mid-range feel. When running Level 3 with a loaded truck and/or pulling a trailer, your on-ramp merging speeds and passing times greatly improve.
Level 6 produces best-in-class performance and passing power when you need it most, with a huge gain of 57 extra horses and 73 additional lb/ft of torque.
Tuned Safe
ActiveSafety® health monitoring circuitry keeps an eye on the vehicle and the module itself 100 times a second.
If an issue is detected, the Derringer instantly bypasses itself, sets a device diagnostic code, and seamlessly returns the truck to stock power.
The Derringer auto-adjusts power if knock occurs due to bad fuel, and advanced coolant temp monitoring prevents power addition when the engine is too cold or overheated, preventing damage.

Banks vs The Competition
The Derringer is the only tuner that utilizes your truck's ECM to make intelligent calculations. Utilizing the power of OBD-II, the tuner intelligently fine-tunes its calibration on the fly without you having to change its power level. The Derringer calibration continuously adjusts to provide peak performance under every driving condition.
The other guys claim big numbers on paper but simply don't deliver in the real world under steady-state conditions! We tested every other tuner on the same dyno, same day, same weather conditions, and with the same technician.
AutoRate® Dynamic Tuning
• Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) — Monitors EGT and intelligently modulates fueling to maintain a safe maximum EGT, protecting your turbo and engine.
• Altitude compensation — Senses ambient air pressure, controlling the turbocharger to maintain added boost and power as altitude increases.
• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regen — Monitors your DPF regen status to ensure the process completes successfully.
• Accelerator Pedal Monitoring — Rolls in additional power progressively, optimizing for both part-throttle fuel economy and max power when you ask for it.
• Full Power Timer — Allows for 30 seconds of wide-open throttle before transitioning to the recommended power level for sustained tow/haul.
• Coolant Temperature Monitoring — Maintains safe power based on coolant temp.
- • During warmup, no power is added below 120° F
- • Power ramps in & fully available above 150° F
- • If the coolant overheats for any reason, the Derringer starts removing its power at 230° F
- • Additional power is totally removed if you exceed 240° F
TransCommand® Active Transmission Safety System
The Derringer is calibrated to modulate power during shifting while ramping up hydraulic pressure for better engagement. Competitors lack OBD-II data and always add power at wide-open throttle causing excessive transmission, clutch, and torque converter slip and damage.
• Intelligent Shift Tuning — Shift signal is optimized for the power level protecting the transmission, increasing shift speed, and avoiding ECM power derates.
• Tuned Hydraulic Pressure —Ramps hydraulic pressure faster than stock, maintaining engagement as power is added safely within factory limits.
• Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Monitoring —Adjusts TCC slip to safe levels, lowering fluid temperature, and preventing extended wear.
- Calibration is tuned for optimum traction and performance providing the right firmness of shift automatically.
• Transmission Slip Monitoring - Light throttle shifts remain smooth and firm, full-throttle shifts are solid and decisive.
- This reduction in slip time also improves acceleration performance, an added benefit!
ActiveSafety® Health Monitoring
The Derringer is the only tuner available that includes Active Safety® health monitoring circuitry.
• Internal diagnostics check system 100 times per second.
• Checks MAP and FRP signals and monitors CPU activity
• Activates in event of failure or loss of 12V power
Bypass relays smoothly return stock power with no loss of power or "Limp Home" Mode.

Reviews
Top notch tuner rr
"The Derriger tuner is top notch tuner, installation was tasking but well worth it. I would still need some time learning all the tuners programming features. And the power levels yes you can feel the difference 👍"
Best thing since sliced bread for Jeep eco diesel
"2022 Jeep Gladiator 3. 9 Eco Diesel I have waited months to do this review so that I would not just be excited and not have a true feeling for it. I am an easy driver and this is my first Diesel and knew about Banks from years in the Automotive industry so I checked them out along with others and knew immediately that Banks was where to go. After 6-8 months of playing with it and learning it I can say that it is true proper tuning on the fly and that is known because 1: My foot feels the smoothness 2: i gain fuel mileage at any setting for just cruising 3: An unexpected consequence is it runs quieter when it is turned on. (being new to diesels That may be normal but I like it). I wish I could have afforded the pillar mount but went with a cheap mount off ebay and it still looks good but not as good. I am still changing or adding to the super data gauge and learning my diesel Oh yeah regen seems to regen less. My wife is retiring soon and we will travel the country and I will feel safe with this. Last thing, The people at Banks answer calls and questions and ---"
Jeep EcoBoost Derringer and Pedal Monster
"Like night and day. The combination of the Derringer and Pedal Monster, makes the jeep perform like a different vehicle. Installation was simple and the online videos were very complete. I would recommend these Banks products to anyone wanting more performance and drivability from their EcoBoost Jeep."
Awesome!!
"Great Customer Service, Glad I installed it! I feel like a naughty kid again :)"
Smiles per mile!
"Wow… just wow. Best bang for your buck for sure! I got this 3 days after I ordered it and i had everything installed in less than an hr! This thing is a “smiles pre mile” upgrade!"
Gladiator eco diesel install
"Impressive tuner when paired with the pedal monster. Really wakes this Jeep up. Install was super easy. I didn’t have to remove anything but the plastic engine cover. I’m definitely not saving fuel though because I’ve had it on 6 with the pedal monster cranked up because I love the performance! Customer service is top shelf also. They called before they shipped to make sure everything was correct for my application and I had everything very quickly. If you’re thinking about skipping the pedal monster, don’t. It’s a must have."
Great Tuner
"Unit arrived on time and in good condition. Install and hook up was simple enough. Finally, this engine is responding and running like it should be without all the soggyness. MPG has mileage has not been affected - but I’m not full throttle at every green light either. The engine/parameters now available on iDash is awesome. Banks rep even responded to a quick text I sent - nice 👍."
My Jeep is alive!
"I used to think my Ecodiesel powered Rubicon was fairly quick for on overweight boxcar. I had no idea how much of a difference the Banks Derringer and PedalMonster could make! It’s like a totally different vehicle! It accelerates and pulls hard all the way to the speed limiter effortlessly. Great job Banks Performance!"
The real deal .
"Just installed the Derringer and Pedal Monster on my 2021 Rubicon. I’m a mechanical technician by trade with 40 years experience. Banks products are the real deal. I had no issues installing the units. They work as promised and the gains in performance and drivability are real. Love the diagnostic capabilities of the system. Nice product Mr. Banks. You do not disappoint!"
Q&A
- Does this allow me to do a Manaus or forced regen?
- You can force regen with the included iDash, the derringer itself doesn't have that feature. however it depends on support from the vehicle itself.
- Does the Derringer allow you to kill the Auto Start-Stop feature?
- None of our Derringer tuners will disable stop start functions.
- Have a derringer... currently getting an over voltage warning disabling the derringer. Any advice?
- Wayne, this is certainly odd behavior. Please expect a call from our Tech Support Team to assist in the diagnosis.
- I'm very interested in this product for my 2022 ram. I'm curious what it does to the MPGs?
- The Derringer was designed to deliver power when you need it. It was not designed to increase fuel economy. Therefore, we do not advertise fuel economy gains. Fuel economy depends on many variables. It really boils down to the type of environment you are in (terrain and weather), additional upgrades, and on throttle habits.
