Banks Triple Heat Capable Monster-Ram® improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. The 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.

A True Monster Of A RAM
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.
Trusted by Tens of Thousands of RAM Owners
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 proprietary 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.
Prevents Broken Bolt Engine Failure
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.
The Monster-Ram® eliminates the grid heater problem permanently. The Banks billet aluminum intake plate replaces the factory heater entirely — no fasteners left behind to fail, no band-aid fix. Just clean, unrestricted airflow with zero risk of catastrophic engine damage from a loose stud.
Don't be fooled by band-aids claiming to prevent grid heater failure. BD's Killer Grid Heater kit is a temporary fix that leaves RAM owners with a false sense of security and a fastener held in by nothing more than liquid thread locker.
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.

Brad Flew to Banks HQ to See It Himself
Azusa, California — Banks Power Factory
We don't stock products we haven't personally vetted. Brad flew to Banks Power's factory in Azusa, CA to walk the floor, see the engineering firsthand, and test the Monster Ram before we ever put it on our shelves. This is what separates Protech from an online retailer.
We Don't Stock What We Haven't Vetted
20+ Years of Banks Data. Zero Shortcuts.
Banks Power has over 20 years of flow bench data and dyno results behind every Monster Ram. Brad saw the numbers in person. That's why we stand behind this product — not because of a spec sheet, but because we've been inside the factory that builds it.
Shipped with Commitment
We make sure every Monster Ram leaves our HQ on time.
Everything you need to know about the Banks Power Monster Ram
The Banks Monster Ram replaces your truck's factory intake elbow — the restrictive plastic tube that feeds air to your turbocharger. The stock piece is one of the biggest airflow bottlenecks in your entire intake system. The Monster Ram is a precision-engineered, mandrel-bent aluminum replacement that dramatically opens up airflow, getting more cool air into your turbo faster.
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, aftermarket parts cannot void your factory warranty unless the dealer can prove the part caused a specific failure. The Monster Ram is a bolt-on air intake component — it won't void your powertrain warranty.
On its own, the Monster Ram improves airflow and reduces intake temps, which supports more efficient combustion. Gains vary by truck, tune, and configuration, but customers commonly report noticeable spool improvement and throttle response. When paired with a quality tune and exhaust, the Monster Ram is part of a package that can deliver 50+ HP gains.
Not at all. The Monster Ram is a direct bolt-on replacement designed for DIY installation. Most installs take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours with basic hand tools. No tuning is required after install. We are also happy to install it for you here at Protech in Kamloops.
The Banks Monster Ram is available for Duramax (GM/Chevy), Cummins (Ram), and Power Stroke (Ford) diesel platforms. Check the product listing or contact us to confirm fitment for your specific year and engine.
Yes. The Monster Ram works alongside your existing tune and actually helps your tune perform better by removing the airflow restriction that was limiting your tuner's ability to push more fuel and timing safely.
We are diesel specialists based in Kamloops, BC. We sell and install every product we stock, so when we recommend the Monster Ram, it is because we have seen the results firsthand. We offer expert installation, local support, and can help you build the right combination for your truck.
