BANKS Power Monster-Ram Intake System (Raw Finish)

For 2013–2018 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Unleash Maximum Airflow and Power

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.

The Grid Heater Bolt Problem: Protect Your Engine

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.

How the Monster-Ram Solves It

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.

Key Features

  • Raw Aluminum Finish: Perfect for a custom look or for those who want to apply their own finish.

  • Superior Airflow: Flows 72.7 lbs/min MAF with Banks’ High-Flow Heater and Billet Intake Plate—an 88.3% improvement over stock’s 38.6 lbs/min.

  • Boost Without Backpressure: Raises boost levels without increasing turbine backpressure for a more responsive, efficient engine.

  • Complete System: Includes Banks’ High-Flow Heater, Billet Intake Plate, and proprietary fuel line—eliminating the grid heater bolt issue.

  • Precision Engineering: Developed with advanced CFD, flow bench testing, dyno runs, and real-world road tests.
