- In this latest update to my 2021 @RamTrucks 3500 MegaCab Limited, I finished all of the current @bankspower upgrades with the exception of their tailpipe which is still not available to date. As soon as it is, I will have it shipped for installation. You have to watch #GaleBanks in this video to see why his #DiffCover is the Best! • What aftermarket diff ...
So here is a little history on my truck and why I went this route in my modifications. For the past seven years, I have been Leasing my trucks, and have enjoyed logging over half-a-million miles on the #Ram2500 #Cummins powered trucks. Each one, logged over 100K miles before turning them in. Just prior to Covid really hitting everyone, I bought a 2020 Laramie Longhorn 6.7L and it was my favorite by far, but a client wanted the truck and I had settled on buying the most truck I could get WITHOUT researching the true differences between the Standard Output (SO) and the High Output (HO) 6.7L engine options. Sure the HO made more power but it came with the highly acclaimed #AISIN transmission for doing real work. With my mind made up, I called the Dealer and asked what they had on the lot, "I needed it now" kinda a thang. They had this loaded out, absolutely gorgeous 2021 Ram 3500 MegaCab Limited with all the bells, whistles and I pulled the trigger! I purchased this truck, sight unseen as Kernersville Dodge, Ram store is 3+ hours away from where I live. On the way home, I immediately noticed the fuel economy was horrible... like 15 mpg at 65mph, but the stereo was insane!! I started THEN, after buying it and taking it home, to do my homework. Just a couple days later after installing the #BulletProofHitches 10" drop with frame supports hitch, I hauled the first boat to Florida and to my shock, a boat that I would normally get 12-13mpg pulling with the 2500 is getting me 9mpg with the new truck! I was devastated!! I just lost more than 15% of my income right off the top! To make matters even worse, I no longer have the free oil changes and tires as I did with the lease, so now I am into buying FOUR rear tires every other month instead of two!!
On an oversize trip from New York to Washington State, 3000+ miles, I had my first real issues as the display lit up with "DEF System Failure See Dealer" and then went into #LimpMode!! I hooked up my scan tool, viewed the code and determined it was actually linked to a dirty fuel filter. I reset the code, got the truck out of Limp Mode and then continued on my trip after replacing both fuel filters. Within a day, crossing the Midwest states with a high headwind, the code popped up again!! This time knowing the fuel filters were fine, I sought a Ram dealer to bring the truck in. After wasting six hours, their tech reset the ECU, installed a reflash and sent me along my route once again. By the time I hit Montana, I had three more interventions with the code coming up again and the truck going into Limp Mode. I went to yet another Ram Dealership and this is when I started to understand, the programming for the DEF system is based upon the testing RAM conducted hauling WEIGHT on a flatbed trailer in controlled environments. They never hauled something oversize with tremendous drag against 30-40+ headwinds to determine the true maximum rate of DEF flow to the exhaust system. Once the intelligent Tech told me this, since he was NOT allowed to test my truck with the trailer attached, I knew nothing other than a full delete was my option. So with less than 15,000 miles and still a full warranty ahead of me, I removed everything!
After much research, I went with www.UnlimitedDi... for the parts and was pleased with their immediate response. I opted for the #EZLynk system as it is the ONLY system not designed as a "Delete Device" but rather a Fleet Tracking Tool, really smart people have figured out how to utilize for greater purposes. This makes a difference!! The tuning is from www.ProvenDiese... and their smokeless tuning on a 5-position SOTF setup has been flawless!! I made good progress on my MPGs but the reliability was the key here!
For Decades, I have followed #GaleBanks and everything he does, but when I saw he was building products specifically for the RAM High Output, I was ALL IN! I visited with Gale Banks as can be seen in another video I will link below and as you will see in this video, their products speak for themselves! I now can achieve 19.5 mpg cruising at 70mph and have seen up to 11.5-12mpg towing large 33'+ Offshore Center Console boats on the highway. The power is insane, over 1600 lb/ft of torque and with the deep aluminum transmission pan, the temps have not once strayed from normal 168 degrees, even on 90+ degree days!
Here's the visit to @bankspower : • The Long Haul Of Ameri...
I am a DATA FOOL! I love everything Gale Banks designs and look forward to MORE!
I sat here and watched this whole video and I don't even work on cars lol pretty cool!
I am with you. I am considering purchasing an 2021 RAM diesel; been learning all I can. Like I am about to pull the trigger just need the correct price (etc etc). I watched this video three times today cause it was calming. Good video, voice and timing. Good job.
Preparing to smile this weekend, Banks Ram Air & Intake, and fleece coolant bypass
Do you have the MonsterRam yet?
@@DavidWilks getting ram air, intake and fleece put in
I like your video: the reflective banks add on MONEY my man. :)
It still stands out a year later and I get a thumbs up on the highway from other drivers who notice it.
You getting her done Dave. Woot woot.
Dude I just bought all the banks stuff for my 2500 and asked them everything do I need and they got me everything for 4800 out the door they gave me a veterans discount and they are AWESOME. Everything can’t believe it intake air filter intake and the commander and it’s gonna be awesome but I am keeping the def system here due to laws
Where did you get the blanks for the EGR valve and cooler delete?
Great explanation on the dif cover!
Yez turbo charger love that sound thx for bring my ambulance. Hope to see you again .✌️✌️
I was thinking 20 ft lbs too would be max. Doing mine these week just got the banks stuff we will see how it does 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the tip!
Happy to help! I am now replacing the turbo actuator with the billet part from City Diesel! Cannot wait to see the improvement!
Where did you get the EGR block off plate with the Bank power logo?
Bro order directly from Banks always!
Funny my stealership told me it was going to be 4k to stop def pump from going to failure after driver of PCM was bad, total of 6 drivers, one going bad..
Next time intercooler & boost tubes, & differential cover
I have the boost tubes and diff cover… at full boost on a 104 OAT towing 15k# my manifold air temps are within 20 degrees of ambient… so the factory intercooler is pretty stout
Thanks for the video. Just curious why you not running 75w-140 in the rear end? That is what is specified for my 2021.
NICE!!
I did the banks cold air intake and pedal monster on my 2020 ram 3500. Get check engine light when I’m climbing sometimes. Anyone else??
I've never had any issues, so do you think there is something triggering it? What code are you getting?
Me too. Banks said it was related to EGR and it wasn’t an issue.
@@Burden2societyp0402 is the code i am getting. It is EGR over flow, and does not affect the truck at all. Just clear the code every time and keep going. Banks is aware of this code and the under boost code as well, and are looking for a solution. But it does not hurt the truck.
Me too
That's messed up. You do all the engine mods and then you can't tow heavy because of the factory programming of the DEF.
The mods were to allow towing heavy
@@DavidWilks I know but you had to retune, delete, whatever to enjoy the results.
Great video! I went on the banks website and tried to buy this diff cover but it said it didn’t fit with the airbag suspension? I see you have airbag suspension
I did not want the factory airbags as they are not user-adjustable. So I have the AirLift Suspensions systems so I can adjust everything as necessary.
Curious what jenny Craig diet did u do? Canada or USA?
Could you make a monster ram plate again I’ll buy it lmk texting from hawaii 🤙🏽
You can buy them from Banks direct.
Beauty
Where / how did you the the banks egr delete plate? It’s awesome.
I made it and added the sticker for even MORE Power!
@@DavidWilks Oh. Custom job very nice!
What tuner and tunes are you running to support your weight loss?
See the description for the links
Yep, I read it after I commented
22-24 mpg on a 2500? Same mods as this? What elevations driving typically? Wheels and tires?
What are you running for the tuner & weight loss? I've got the DEF issue on my 2020 HO
Read the description of the video as I have links there.
@@DavidWilks unlimiteddiesel sells their own tunes as part of the pkg & provenperfirnance sells their tunes with their kit, how did you do tunes from proven & equipment from unlimited?
No idea that Unlimited sells their own stuff... but Proven Diesel tunes. are what my EZLynk came with and the updates have been on point.
@@DavidWilksmy 2020 3500 drw has had gastric bypass, but whoever had it before me didn’t leave tuner in it. Proven doesn’t say if they support us lighter weight customers 🤣
Hi, David Wilks. This is Kyra from Issyauto. I have emailed you a few days ago. Have you received them? Thank you and let me know.
So you deleted both intake and egr?
No deletes. Weight loss.
Is the single axle HO the same size as the dually HO (12")?
No it is not. The High Output also has a larger rear axle than the 68RFE 3500 Dually.
How long did the monster ram intake manifold take you?
Took 3-4 hours. The ratchet from Harbor Freight is a game-changer!!
You deleted your def kit by yourself?
Yes, did all the work myself.
You wanna tell the truth on Unstop - Morgan fine but don’t be trashing all Dem’s and label them as bad people just because you have all these awful issues with her and she has to be a Democrat! Just plain ignorant!
If you voted for Biden and any of the Dems currently toting the line of bullshit, then I honestly have nothing to say but for you to look at the current situations. Nothing, not one current issue today has been created by anyone other than the Traitors of America allowing millions of illegals pouring across our borders.
Democrats are trash /the end
Hi, David! This is Kyra. Have you received my email? Please check it out and thank you!
Where did you get the Banks Power EGR Delete Plate?
