Description

Your 6.7 Cummins requires a lot of air! And sometimes the parts that came on the truck from the factory aren't designed for peak optimization of performance, they instead are designed for manufacturing efficiency. The Banks Ram Air intake replaces the factory intake with a part designed specifically and exclusively for airflow and power increases giving you 936 CFM or a 122% airflow increase over stock while keeping 49 States legal. Those are gains you'll notice from the moment you fire the truck up!

The biggest thing that sets out the Ram Air intake apart from the rest is that it comes with a #1 fuel line relocation kit so that it doesn't sacrifice any airflow to the engine, where other intakes will design their intake to sacrifice airflow by working around the fuel line. This gives the Banks intake a clear and distinct advantage over the rest of them!

Now Dual Heat Capable! The Monster-Ram still comes standard with the Banks 750-watt coil heater, but now you can add a second heater for up to 1500 watts of cold-start power, all without sacrificing airflow.

Part Number: 42797, 42797-PC, 42797-B 

Features

  • Raises boost without increasing turbine drive pressure
  • Prevents Broken Bolt Engine Failure
  • 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 Billet Plate
  • Larger and less restrictive than stock intake
  • Improves flow of oxygen-rich air into cylinders
  • Quicker throttle response
  • Optimizes air pressure and distribution
  • Outflows stock over 122%
  • 3-3/8" inlet
  • Four 1/8" NPT ports
  • Accommodates stock mounting points
  • Includes proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware

Installation

Notes

  • Will NOT fit Cab & Chassis models
  • If you're interested in a red ram air intake and want a matching block off plate and throttle valve upgrade, our Bengal Red Powdercoat option is a direct match.

Additional Info

Cummins Ticking Time Bomb

Due to heat, vibration, and time, a nut and stud from the factory heater grid have been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Once this happens, it will roll downhill into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head.

  • With this kit, am i able to run 2 coil heaters if i purchase a second one or do i need to buy another part?

    This will come with one from factory, and then you would just need to purchase a second heater coil to install alongside it! Part # 42830.

  • Is this the right kit for my 2011 dodge ram 3500 6.7l cummins

    You bet! Unless you have a cab & chassis truck, then you'll want part number -> 42806.

  • Hello, just wondering will this kit fit my 2010 Dodge 3500 6.7l Cummins crew cab

    Yes!

  • What happens if your heating coil breaks and falls into intake,on 6.7 cummins,

    It would potentially roll through the intake and into cylinder 6 causing catastrophic failure. Although there has been no reported cases of the heater coil breaking on the monster ram intake.

  • Do this fit my 07 6.7 crew cad pickup truck

    No, this will only fit 2007.5-2012 RAM Cummins 6.7 Trucks.

  • I was wondering if this fit my 2007 6.7 crew cab pickup 3500

    If you have the 6.7L that is the correct intake.

  • What is the block off plate on top? What would go there if the plate wasn’t there?

    The plate on the Monster-Ram Air Intake System is a Billet High-Flow Intake Plate. This plate serves to replace the highly restrictive factory grid heater plate that is found on the stock Cummins intake manifold.

  • Will this fit my 2012 ram 5500

    No, you will need to look at this C&C option, HERE.

  • Banks coil heater inside monster ram intake,if it fails or breaks off ,will it do the same as stock grid heater bolt,if it does break or fall apart ,it also will drop down and take out valves,piston,banks has over 100% better flow,im concerned about the coil heater,

    The Banks Monster-Ram Intake coil heater is designed to specifically reduce the risk of engine damage due to heater component failure and that problematic bolt.

  • I want to get the grid heater delete kit for my truck but I wanted to drive it in the winter as well is there something I can buy that would help my truck fire up in the winter

    This bolts directly to the air intake before the throttle body, giving you big heat gains. Heavy Duty Dual Element Heater.

Customer photo review of 2007.5-2012 Cummins Gen 2 Monster-Ram Air Intake System (42797)

Looks terrific and is a great piece of mind knowing the “nut” is gone. Install isn’t bad. YouTube is great. Darkiron diesel videos are a good way to learn

Customer photo review of 2007.5-2012 Cummins Gen 2 Monster-Ram Air Intake System (42797)

Look and works well not too hard to install unfortunately got a check engine light after installing think it has something to do with my mass airflow sensor but looked it up and found it was a common problem after installing

Customer photo review of 2007.5-2012 Cummins Gen 2 Monster-Ram Air Intake System (42797)

Customer photo review of 2007.5-2012 Cummins Gen 2 Monster-Ram Air Intake System (42797)

Easy installation and the powder coat red looks amazing

I found the install video had some wiring harness differences--my '09 Dodge didn't need the wiring extensions and the routing on the video was not like mine. I also noted the plastic plugs did not fit the fuel rail fittings very well- ended up having to tap them in and couldn't get the back 2 in

The instructions for this installation were dead on. Good job Everything fit great. Very satisfied

Great price and great communication fast delivery

Fit my 2012 Ram 3500 perfectly. Install was around 4 1/2 - 5 hours. Luckily my stock grid heater bolt was intact even with 463,000km. With saying that, I have more peace of mind going forward! I haven’t noticed any real differences besides maybe a little more throttle response. I won’t have a review on the cold starting ability, as my pickup has a Webasto installed.

Good product, easy install. Would recommend anyone looking at doing one to order boost tubes or new boots and clamps to replace your old crusty ones while you are there!

First review ever. The experience from ordering to receiving the product was 10 out of 10. The packaging was 10 out of 10 no parts missing or damaged. Good product Thanks

Works good

Great quality , great communication from seller

Love the look and sound of it defently worth the money

Excellent build, installation was a bit of a effort, getting at the back fuel lines,

Great to deal with, kit was great and mechanic was impressed with everything it came with. Now I can forget about that famous nut failing

Fit great easy install

Great experience parts came in good time and were in good order. Thank you so much. Rick

Great unit and gets reed of the grid heater failure

Install wasn't to bad, would recommend these to everyone

Good talking to JT got back to me right away. Anything he was asked he double checked and completed all extra information within 24 hours

It was good I found all the parts I need

Had it installed by an expert mechanic who did an excellent job, have only had it installed today but so far so good.

Looks to be of high quality. Impressive !

Install went flawlessly looks awesome nice to not have to worry about the grid gremlin anymore!

It was an extensive install,l but the instructions made the process go perfectly and I have had no issues with the truck.

Banks for the win yet again. Well built, awesome instalation instructions.

Install was a bit tedious with taking the fuel lines off (#4 with the sensor in the way) and getting the old plate out of there but not too bad if you take your time. Improves throttle response and looks good on the truck. Only dislike is having to put in the one bolt through the heater coil hole and inside the Banks (ironically).

Better turbo spool up. Better throttle response. Also looks great.

Parts were delivered quickly, and install was a breeze. All required parts are supplied and of great quality.

Noticeably better fuel mileage and it looks great!

It takes some time but the instructions were easy to follow and it works excellent.

package came no damage, installed parts easily and fit very well, quality of product excellent
