    The Banks iDash is great. They have a mounting pod that you can spray paint to color match your interior. I use it to monitor regens, difference in speedometer with the larger tires, egt temps, etc…
    As for this upgrade, the Banks Pedal Monster will spin the tires immediately if that is what you want. It eliminates the boost lag and is a very simple install. This engine produces almost 1k pounds of torque, you don’t need performance mods but it’s fun to do them.

    I bought the intake and the horn, however I haven’t gotten around to installing the horn yet. I purchased both with the intent of getting a little more noise out of the intake, and the CAI definitely helped with that. You get a little turbo whistle on acceleration, but it’s really noticeable with the exhaust brake on. Hoping to install the intake horn soon, and get the boost tubes down the line for even more noise, but I don’t have my hopes up. But if you want to hear a difference, getting rid of the stock air box with the resonators in it helps a lot.

Only thing is if you have a warranty they'll have a cow. They're into saving you guys with the diesels from the gunk they're forced to ingest and fuel pumps that blow up, high exhaust temps, etc.

    Now all you need JB is their Ram-Air CAI for your L5P! I have a MY23 Ram 2500 Rebel with the 6.7 and did most of the Bank's upgrades throughout it, with just a few hundred miles on the truck. I did the Monster Ram Air intake horn, the beautiful Bank's boost pipes, and the Ram-Air CAI all around the same time, because they all work together to maximize the flow of air. Remember, a diesel engine is essential a big air pump, and the better it breathes, the better it will run. I'm a big fan of their dry air filters; they are cleanable and will last the life of the vehicle.

    If you're old enough. You would remember turbos in diesel engines would would whistle as you accelerated. It was because the engine was breathing better and the turbo was getting more air pressure. You don't hear that whistle anymore in today's diesel engines that are being strangled by the EPA noose around the engines neck. As an old truck driver I miss that whistle from the turbo.

    • @UserErr0r3578
      @UserErr0r3578 22 дні тому

      Whistling turbo is a sign of a boost leak or inefficient turbo design, it has nothing to do with EPA.
      Compare your old turbo's housing design, compressor and turbine wheels with something from current decade and you'll see how different they really are.

    Save the clamps and put them underneath your backseat in your glove box or something. Because those clamps do break in it is a very good idea to have a spare one or even more in your truck. I cannot even begin to tell you how many clamps have broke on my diesel trucks.

    JB check your tire pressure. Typically, the roads lean to the right side and I see you have 4 pounds of additional air on the left side. even that out. Also I have found as well as Carli likes the pressures in the rear to be about 5 pounds less. try that and you will notice a much better ride overall...it's like having about 400lbs in the bed.

And I have done my front and rear differential as well. And ever since I switched to Amsoil for my gear oil, I no longer have the clunky noise with my limited slip rear differential.

    My intent in making this comment is not to badmouth Banks, but i will point out regarding that "flimsy flexible hose", when the turbo is producing boost, the hose in question under pressure which would force out any irregularities in the shape caused by heat. just like a wind sock at the airport. Similarly if it did develop a leak, it would be extremally obvious. turbo air leaks are loud

      @@ryank2365 no, i am saying if there is an leak in the pressure side of the turbo you will be able to hear it quite clearly, regardless of which tubes are installed. It makes the same hissing sound as any compressed air leak. JB made it sound like you could be losing pressure (HP) to a leak in the stock tube and it would go unnoticed, which simply wouldn't happen.
      I think the banks tubes look really cool and im sure they improve airflow, i just don't agree with some of the things stated in this video about "issues" with the stock tubes.

I put the ram horn the cat back system on it left the air intake completely stock except for the plastic trash. They put inside of it. Take that out if that stuff breaks it’ll destroy your engine anyways long story short I got 19 miles to the gallon prior to it. I get 29 miles to the gallon now my advice I’ve been watching a lot of other trucks Chevy Ford in the new Dodge those plastic pieces inside your intake tubes get rid of those things if those things fall apart and break your engine will be destroyed and those new Dodge engines.

    Most of Banks products are nothing but expensive under hood ornaments. There’s plenty of videos proving that their numbers are all for marketing.

    All of these parts are worthless eye candy. Adds nothing to value. Spend the money deleting and then its money well spent
