For 2013–2018 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins
Transform your Ram’s performance with the BANKS Power Monster-Ram Intake System in Raw Aluminum. Engineered for diesel enthusiasts, this intake system dramatically improves airflow from the intercooler, delivering immediate gains in power, throttle response, and efficiency—all while sporting a rugged, uncoated raw finish for those who want a custom look or plan to coat it themselves.
A notorious issue with the 6.7L Cummins is the stock grid heater bolt failure. Over time, the factory grid heater’s securing bolt can degrade, break off, and be ingested by the engine, potentially causing catastrophic damage to pistons, valves, or even the cylinder head. Repairs can be extremely costly.
Warning signs include check engine lights (codes like P2609 or P0542) or movement in the grid heater’s electrical post. Immediate inspection is crucial if these appear.
The Monster-Ram Intake System eliminates this risk by replacing the factory grid heater and its problematic bolt with a high-flow billet intake plate and a robust vertical coil-style heater. This design removes the failure-prone bolt while maintaining reliable cold starts and maximizing airflow, giving you peace of mind and a performance edge.
