Adding 120 HP to a 20 year-old Diesel

- If you’re a big man, you need a big truck, and if you’ve been crowned the world's strongest man 4 times, you need a one-of-a-kind beast of a vehicle. UA-camr and professional strongman Brian Shaw (@SHAWSTRENGTH), recently bought his dream truck, a 2002 Ford Excursion with a 7.3 diesel engine, but we couldn't let him drive it around in the thin air of Colorado without giving it every opportunity to breathe freely and get horsepower to the wheels. Brian sent the truck to us in Azusa, CA for some strength training. Gale Banks and Brian Shaw are two titans constantly pursuing more power.

What blows my mind is how manufacturers don’t study this man and his colleagues engineering theories to make modern diesel trucks better for the consumer
Why would they do that? Trucks sell either way in our consumerist economy.
The crossover i didnt know i needed.
Well we all knew it wasn't a murano lmao.
Gale is an American icon.. What an amazing life he's lead
WELL SAID AND YES HE IS
A national asset really
For sure.. I didn't even realize he had all of them defense contracts.. He's making american trucks faster.. And the border safer all at the same time..
Both of them. The best at what they do. Legends.
Shaw doesn’t understand one word that Gale says, lol, but he knows it means awesome things for his Excursion, and that’s all he needs to hear.
He's actually well read (he teaches Math, for Pete's sake), so the emphasis on efficiency and gains weren't lost on him.
I just knew the military contact would prevent us from seeing the engine assembly room 😆
I do miss the killing a duramax dyno series. They never killed it.
Dude, right!? He said he keep building power until "the heads hit the ceiling or the crank hits the floor". I really wanted to know what the L5P could take. @@nobodynoone2500
We hope to return to that project one day once the dyno cell is freed up again.
6’7” pssshhhhh I’m 5’22”! But definitely not as strong as him, sadly.
Government doesn’t want anyone seeing all their deleted duramax’s 😐
Gale Banks is nothing short of an American badass. He has forgotten more about performance than all of those other bubba diesel channel bubbas ever knew. Awesome video and great work Mr. Banks.
Missed out not showing the driving reaction!
Idk, not then a startup exhaust note or anything… 😢
Shaw did a video on his channel
"You must be Brian"
No Gale, this is just another 6'8", 300+lb giant that could give some of your engines a run for their money.
Isn't he around 400 plus
@@rafmatt1607 in his latest video with his weight he measured at 375. He's lost quite a bit of weight since his strongman days
400 Lb.
@@russellzigler2180 not anymore.
I use Gale’s videos to teach my HVAC apprenticeship students about air density, refrigerant enthalpy, the gas laws etc. They almost always think they won’t get it down in the beginning but after watching Gale explain the way he does with the graphics and parts right there, they are shocked how they understand. Thank you Mr Banks.
Would Gale be interested in doing some videos on how he stays so healthy? His diet, exercise plan, stress relief, life philosophy. Imagine if he showed his blood work, VO2 max and all his vitals and then explained them as he does with engines. He could get thousands of men healthy and mentally sharper. Gales mental cognition at his age is even more impressive than his unbelievable physical condition.
I know that this is private and a personal thing to ask but it would be a great help to humanity. The modern medical system is the equivalent of black smoke spewing with the throw drugs at the problem and just telling us we are all shot by 40.
Thanks Mr Banks for all you do. As a veteran, those 6.2 and 6.5 were death traps. You have saved lives.
That's a great idea actually.
I’ve driven a JLTV in the Marine Corps for a bit on my first deployment. You can just send it.
Pretty capable power plant compared to what that thing weighs for sure. Too bad the trucks rott once they become deadlined. Seems like the mechanics can't keep these trucks alive as long as the older trucks and Humvees
2:08 it's crazy, I can't believe I only found out about Mr. Banks in the last few years... He's literally been making hot rods since before even my father was born
holyshyt hes like Shelbys long lost cuz amd that's saying alot
that little engine cover is badass
But engine covers do nothing but retain heat.
@@fastinradfordable plastic ones do because plastic insulates not dissipates heats like aluminum does. and it has breathing. just don’t question anything Gale Banks does to a diesel and you’ll be better off in life
I'd kill to own the truck but I'd give it up in a heartbeat to meet Gale Banks and have the opportunity to walk around and talk with him. So much knowledge within that man. Great job!
Like , 200 horse retardation power , i.e. exhaust brake . The converter lockup and clutch tightening while engaged is pure genius .
It’s a lot of workaround to still
Not be as good as a manual trans.
Who wants a mannul turbo charged car thou. You just loose all the boost on shifts
G. Banks has been a long time inspiration to me. The man is an absolute legend when it comes to making power from and ICE engine.
Mr. banks, you are a visionary automotive genius. Thank you for your research leading to the vast improvements in the diesel industry. You bring us stuff that we didn’t know we needed until you have proven that we need them because they make the industry better.
Gale Banks, he's the best, he's the man ❗️
I use to watch Worlds Strongest Man just to see Shaw go to work💪
I saw the thumbnail and was like, hey, i have one of those at home! 😅. 7.3L is probably the best diesel engine Ford ever put in a vehicle. My 2003 ltd has 240k on it and runs like a sewing machine.
Gale Banks is the strongest man of the diesel world.
Banks is what true tuning is! He is a freaking legend would love to see them step a bit into the smaller displacement stuff as well! Beyond the data monster ect!
I didn't realize Gale was so tall. To stand next to Brian and not look like a munchkin is not something to shrug off.
I love that he can make all that power with a diesel and it doesn't smoke like a dodge.
My favorite engine guys and my favorite strongman. That’s awesome.
I remember reading about the Banks GTA land speed car while they were breaking those records in the eighties. The important part is they hit 277mph in a stock body car, no extra aero mods besides lowering it and the obvious hood bump to contain the twin turbo engine. They picked the TransAm specifically because it had the best aerodynamics of the era. At those speeds aero IS horsepower saved, it’s an incredible accomplishment.
Gale is an absolute legend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bet the army isnt worring about all the EGR, SCR, DPF bs failing out in the battle field! Oh yeah, there isnt any of that bs to fail! "Do as i say not as i do!" Must be nice to not have EPA breathing down your neck!
This is my perfect truck right here! Someday I'll get one of these nice Excursion, especially tuned up by Gale Banks himself! 7.3 power ftw!
I was so lucky to spend 15 years in the USA. What is making the USA different from other countries is the urge to innovation. Everything from cars, engines, software, etc, etc. I am proudly driving a Tesla here in Norway (EVs have no tax) but I still love to check in on what is going on back in the USA. Great video. It is fantastic to see all the knowledge in action.
Banks was building 1200hp 454 trucks in the early 90s he’s a legend in the game
Great video. Brian is such a friendly giant.
Those tremor wheels are crappy chineseum. Banks dropped the ball there. All of his stuff is made in USA, so put some USA made wheels on that beast.
I remember the TA from the cover of a car magazine back in the 90's. That thing was incredible. Incredible speeds for a door-slammer.
The only thing Gale Banks lacks is marketing. I never knew he had so many products! Not just this video, but all of them. Love it!! He's the man!
From 16:57 ish on for the next min or two were super enlightening for me. For one I thought cars kick out the tcc when you apply brakes to help deceleration but now I see that only builds heat 🤘🏻I also never thought of the clutches needing more line psi and being worked backwards. Like a diff is meant for strength forward, not backwards so much. Always learn lots from Gale. Last of the true hotrodders imo. I think big daddy is still around but not sure. Not a good comparison so wasn’t trying to do that ✌🏻
Banks always impresses me, great video 👍😁
Gorgeous, incredible job on that excursion!!! My excursion has the v10. 400,000 miles on it. But its getting tired. Its time for a restoration.
Amazing stuff, love Brian as well.
This video just farther solidifies my LOVE for Gale Banks and Banks Power. Well done.
To the Excursion, which was, and is, such a badass ride.... I don't like the new black wheels compared to the stock polished and machined aluminum ones. New meatier tires, absolutely, on the stock wheels, yup, the awesome Bilstein suspension, yes... super thrilled about that, especially with it being Bilstein and not Fox, King, or any of the other "popular" shocks, especially when Bilstein knows their 💩 and creates some of the best on and off-road suspension, yet nobody knows they make off-road goodies.... and I'm of course, especially cool with the power and drivetrain upgrades.... just I think the stock polished and machined aluminum wheels with the better tires would've been cooler, fitted the paint scheme better, and kept it more classy..... it's mainly the black with that paint, a set of 16-20" polished aluminum wheels with 35-37" tires would've also looked good, or at least, better.
I love all the Banks stuff, including my 7.5l Stinger bundle on my '96 F250! Now, I'm just waiting for them to continue production of their Torque Tube headers.
Thank you Babies for everything you do because you are the MAN!!👍👍😁
I wish we could get a whole series on the business history. Because I'm sure there's tons of stories from every product launch or how much of a pain in the ass making "the first" aftermarket turbo kits was. Cause it's easy to make something work on a couple cars...whole different game to make something for the general public to DIY.
YEAAA ✨👑💯 HE WENT WITH THE MAN GALE BANKS
I would love to see this type of series continue. Donate a build to first responder/military...etc...
How fun! I'll tune in for more content like this.
It would be a heart pounding experience to be in the same room with these 2 massive individuals. Both Legends in their field!
Don't care for Fords but that Excursion looks badass. Thanks, Mr. Banks and Mr. Shaw!
I love the 7.3 excursions, this thing is perfect 🤌
Cool and crazy diesels. Awesome!!
Just saw Brian and his Expedition today. Both larger than life.
Awesome to see how proud Mr Banks is of that C20
We need this!
I haven’t finished watching the video yet. I’m almost to the end and he set up the Buick grand national V6 turbo system worked really good too. This is six in a row.Jim from Kennerdell PA I have a 91.5 Dodge just had the engine rebuilt by D&jmachine in Cambridge, Ohio those guys do really nice work anyway you guys have a nice day thank you Gail for your devotion to excellence
Nice to see how Banks makes their parts, looks like a nice place to work for 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Two super fantastic utubers .
Monitoring boost pressure? That means literally nothing. Don’t you know Gale, it’s all about the MAD!
Love it!
I will say that I miss your podcast, Speed School. Perfect way to make my day go by a little quicker at work and learn something new.
A supercharged diesel is next level. I would never thought of that kind of combo. I bet that thing rips.
That's where the top mount superchargers come from. The Detroit Diesels needed them back in the day.
It’s literally 90+yo tech.
I wish Banks still made the kit for the old School GM 6.5 Turtle diesels. I had a 6.2 turboed with his kit on there back in the late 80's, and sold the kit off my blown up 97 CCLB 6.5 TD, I still own that truck, and wished I had a kit to bolt on to it. Its Stockish, with a big fuel upgrade and cooling upgrade, still a turtle, but tows our SXS and hauls the slide in pretty good with only 225hp
Great work!
I love the excursion they did great
That was a great watch
I thought Dave’s auto was on another level
This guy is on a different planet
Being a mechanic guy admired this guy
Brians driving impressions would have been nice to see. Great video.
Legends, both of them!
That track truck is sick!
The best of both worlds.
0:35 Damn, that keg glanced off his shoulder
Brian needs to put a MOVE Bumper on that truck! You guys did a great job! Absolutely awesome!
That Excursion came out nice
imagine talking about a big ass plane that hauls military trucks and casually saying "oh yeah, i pulled one of those on foot."
we finally got our 99 F250 with the 7.3 broke in at 260,000 miles. a few extra horses would be cool. been exclusively using it for towing our camper for the past 80,000 miles. 10mpg towing at 70-75 on the interstate.
Just bought my first diesel pickup a couple months ago. Gonna buy a banks intercooler and ecotune from them.
Really neat build, but the front bumper seems out of place. I know it wasn't a Banks idea.
Gale Banks doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves for what’s happened in history because of him.
Gale is an AMERICAN TREASURE!!!
Gale is the MAN!
Damn.... Next mods for my 2000 7.3 for sure.
Living legend
Gale Banks is a national treasure, and I'm not even from the USA!
I live at 4300' elevation with my 6.0. I feel like i should get the Brian Shaw package.
I hiked PP in 2012 and ate one of those donuts. Total ass kicker.
When power meets torque 💪🏻💪🏻
Never would I have thought I'd have seen this crossover lol
Welcome to pimp my ride, Gale Banks edition.
Heck yeah
Gale Banks is the GOAT!!
Love the videos! Now when are you gonna have the Monster exhaust available for my 2024 DMax 3500 SRW?
Very impressive, that’s why I put the Banks derringer, pedal-monster, I-dash and cold air intake on my 2019 6.6 at 25K miles, I won’t put cheap parts on my truck. Unfortunately after about 6 months and 8K miles with no issues my truck doesn’t seem to be liking the Derringer. You would think Banks would be all over it wanting to know why, but my first call to them didn’t give me much confidence they wanted to help. At first all I got was where did you buy it from? Then “unplug it and see what happens”. So I did and the problem went away, now I have no proof there was/is a problem until it resurfaces again. After 2 weeks of no issues I plugged it back in, 2 days now and so far so good. After my first interaction with them I’m not exactly looking forward to calling back and asking for more help, but then again I’m not famous.

Please email us at your convenience with your contact info and anything related to the issue, like photos or messages, to our socialmedia@bankspower.com email address. Someone will reach out today.
Banks is an amazing bad ass man!!!!
Amazing stuff ! ❤from 🇬🇧
"So we went to China." 😂
Another BADASS ride made better by the G.O.A.T.! Well done Gale, as always!
Would’ve been nice to hear the truck run 🤷🏼♂️
I wonder if Gale Banks is messing with dimpled pistons in his diesel builds?
Those speed of air pistons and thermal coatings would be a game changer for all diesel, gdi and ICE engines. Then how about the 2-stroke Detroit Diesel engines.
Brian "The Torque" Shaw 💪😁👍
Kick ass truck
I’m sure there are others, but I’d find it hard pressed to think of another aftermarket manufacturer that has such a high oem level of R&D in all of their products. You know that it’s going to last as well!
Gale would have to be the nicest guy around
