Banks Triple Heat Capable Monster-Ram improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. The patented system prevents severe engine damage by replacing the failure-prone factory grid heater with the Banks High-Flow 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.
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.
Your Cummins engine struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed stock inlet which causes boost loss at the
same flow, while the Banks Monster-Ram® has a wide, unrestricted free-flowing path.
The Monster-Ram® offers unparalleled airflow thanks to its custom-engineered fuel line.
All this without the need for tuning while being 50-state compliant.
Since its debut in 2017, tens of thousands of RAM owners throughout the US and Canada have installed a Monster-Ram
to prevent factory grid failure while enjoying quicker throttle response, improved fuel economy, and better
drivability.
But performance means nothing without reliability
That's why Monster-Ram is engineered and tested to
OEM-level standards. Every part in the Monster-Ram kit, including the proprietary fuel line, is covered by the Banks
Limited Lifetime Warranty.
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 patented 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.
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.
The Monster-Ram® Kit includes a Banks 750-watt coil heater. Want more cold start heat?
Upgrade your Monster-Ram® to 2250 watts with the Triple Heater Upgrade Kit.
Need even more? 750-watt and 1500-watt billet heaters are also available for easy bolt-on supplemental starting heat.
Bolt-on up to an additional 1500W to your Single or Triple Heat Capable Monster-Ram®.
We followed RAM's cold start recommendations. Per the owner’s manual, RAM recommends the use of the block heater when the temperature drops below 0°F/-17°C and mandates the block heater at temperatures below -20°F/-29°C.
Using a controlled climate chamber, our first test utilized block heat and two Banks coil heaters (1500 watts total). The Monster-Ram® enabled our test truck to cold start down to -30°F/-34°C.
Against RAM’s recommendations, we also attempted to cold start with the same two coil heaters and no block heat. We were able to cold start down to -20°F/-29°C. Adding a third coil heater (2,250 watts total), the truck started at -30°F/-34°C.*
All tests were performed with two intake air pre-heat cycles per the owner’s manual. Intake air temperature is just one factor contributing to a successful cold start. Individual results may vary depending on your vehicle’s age and overall condition.
Add the Banks Engine Cover Kit to conceal the factory emissions equipment with an OEM-plus design engineered specifically for Monster-Ram-equipped RAM 6.7L Cummins pickups and chassis cabs
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.
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.
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.
Banks fuel lines are engineered to rigorous automotive quality-control standards using premium raw materials.
Each line is laboratory burst-tested to more than three times the maximum pressure produced by the factory high-pressure fuel pump, then fatigue-tested through 10 million pressure cycles simulating operation from idle to wide-open throttle.

"Extremely quick shipping. Fantastic packaging. The install was very straightforward UNTIL the last part of installing the EGR tube. It was difficult to line back up since the new Ram Air is taller. However it’s running great and glad to have the peace of mind that the grid heater bolt won’t ruin my engine now. I will say that my truck pushes more boost with more ease with the new Ram Air."
"I highly recommend anyone with a 6.7 L Cummins replace the original grid heater with Banks monster ram. If not, you are playing Russian roulette with your engine. Install was relatively easy with the correct tools or modified 19 mm wrench for the back injector line. The truck seems to run the same, but no more fear of the bolt coming off and destroying the engine. I got lucky with my grid bolt having welded itself to the lower bus bar going to the grid and the upper side was broken in half. 197,000 miles no telling when it actually failed but super stoked that it didn’t go in the engine. did order a second grid heater for the monster ram so when it gets really cold, I won’t have any issue with it starting."
"Very nice product, easy to install and took about 1.5hrs. I could tell the difference instantly although I also added the cold air intake at the same time. Also made the turbo whistle much louder. Installed about 2k miles ago and have felt it was worth it. Thanks Banks."
"Got this installed in just over 3.5 hours, everything from the kit to the instructions were top notch, moreover my stepdad LOVES the throttle response on his truck now, so damn good investment."
"I know next to nothing about diesel motors. With some extra hands I was able to get this done in a day, including the ram air and boost tube upgrade. If it’s any consolation, the boost tubes were way harder than this grid heater delete. Would recommend 10/10"
"I have had the intake on for about two weeks and have towed 7000 lb camper over 100 miles. I don’t notice much of a mileage difference, maybe slightly higher. Grid heater operation remains the same. I have 112,000 miles on a 2018 3500, the old grid heater bolt showed no wear."
"I’ve been watching dark Iron diesel I live in Wisconsin got the dual heaters installed with the one that came with it. Never in my life did I think I would get a call there customer service or someone from there team called me to confirm with me that the package was picked up by the carrier and was on its way to me and if I had any issues to call this number back and they would help me out. Worth the $$$ if you live in cold Wisconsins cold whether in general triple heaters way to go"
"Awesome product, not bad to install. I’m no mechanic and I was able to do it no problem at all. Had one question tech support was amazing. Highly recommend this company. I will definitely be back"
"Directions were easy online. It explains directions clearly. My truck is performing great. Very happy with my purchase."
"Overall awesome upgrade and great kit. I would say the install its relatively straight forward but could be difficult for someone who isn't mechanically inclined. My only concern is some of the negative reviews about the number 1 Banks injector line blowing out, but I have seen some people claiming that Banks has improved their design to keep this from happening so only time will tell. There are 2 things I think Banks should change. 1 is giving you flange bolts for all the intake horn bolts and 2 is giving you a higher "grade" hex/allen rod since the one they give you is relatively "soft" steel that rounds off easily."
