Description

Note: This will NOT fit Cab & Chassis Models. Click Here for C&C.

The Banks Monster-Ram Intake improves airflow from the intercooler, it increases airflow in your Cummins to 906CFM (69.22 lbs/min) compared to stocks measly 432CFM (33.00 lbs/min). By doing this, it raises your boost without increasing backpressure at the turbine. The result of this is a more responsive, powerful, and efficient engine.

The Monster-Ram includes 4 1/8" NPT ports for flexibility, the two top NPT ports are positioned to allow for proper atomization directly in the center of the air mass while preventing wall wetting. It also accommodates stock mounting points including the Temperature & Pressure Sensors, Wire Harness, and Dipstick Tube. 

A simple, direct-replacement casting, Monster-Ram is instant power, performance, and acceleration gratification. 

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: 42799 / 42799-PC / 42799-B

Features
  • Raises boost without increasing turbine drive pressure
  • Eliminates the risk of engine failure due to parts loosening and falling into the engine while maintaining OEM-like cold weather engine start performance.
  • 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.
  • Includes High Flow Heater And Billet Intake
  • 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

Notes
  • Also Fits Dual-Alternator Engines
  • All emission systems are retained, maintaining 50 State compliance and a CARB-EO.

Additional Info

What It Does

The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min with Banks’ New Coil Heater and High-Flow Billet 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.

There are two devices on your Cummins engine that increase air density; the turbocharger and the intercooler.

Anything in the system that doesn’t create air density, cuts air density. Banks designed the Monster-Ram to get back that lost air density.

It's All About Mass Air Flow

The secret to the Monster-Ram's performance is not just airflow, but the quality and literal 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 huge power gains when stacked with a tune.

 

How It's Done

Your Cummins engine consumes a massive amount of air and struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed inlet. The stock horn causes boost loss at the same flow while the Banks Monster-Ram has a wide, unrestricted, free-flowing path.

Stock versus Banks

Engineering a better solution

All other replacement manifolds are compromised thanks to the No. 1 fuel line, which obstructs the airflow path.

The Monster-Ram offers unparalleled airflow thanks to its custom-engineered fuel line.

All this without the need for tuning.

Monitor everything

If you have an existing iDash setup, the Monster-Ram has four 1/8 inch NPT ports for installing temperature, pressure, or flow sensors.

NPR Ports

Cummins Ticking Time Bomb

Due to heat, vibration, and time, a nut and stud from the factory heater grid has 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.

Customer photo review of 2019-2024 Cummins Monster-Ram Intake & Grid Heater Upgrade (42799)

My goal was to replace the stock ram grid heater which is known to drop a bolt internally and cause major internal engine damage. I watched the Banks installation video and followed the instructions it was not difficult but you need to have patience. I did modify a 19mm wrench taking some material off the shoulders and I also lengthened the wrench to get to the number six fuel line.

Just got this installed. It’s working good. I have a better peace of mind with this in and not the factory grid in. The cold start isn’t a problem if you’re able to plug in. Tested at -28c with th truck plugged in. Zero issue starting with just one coil hooked up.

Customer photo review of 2019-2024 Cummins Monster-Ram Intake & Grid Heater Upgrade (42799)

Looks fantastic. Definitely need to know your way around the engine for install. Install instructions have some errors in it but pretty stright forward. Highly recommend having a 12 point flair crows foot and not a normal crows wrench as torquing the fuel lines are a royal pain with very minimal space so a 12 point really helps prevent swearing.

Customer photo review of 2019-2024 Cummins Monster-Ram Intake & Grid Heater Upgrade (42799)

It was a amazing day to install this product and was very easy. Just like everyone says fuel lines in the back #5 & 6 was challenging. But a bit of patience and I was a success. Trying to get EGR tube on with they strap clip and the bolt put to much tension on gaskets was not fitting properly. So just remove the strap clip . There is more then enough clamping force on the band clamps to hold it very well . Very happy with the power and throttle response!

A great upgrade, top quality, went for the black unit with two heaters. Gets rid of the factory grid heater bolt that can fail, opens up the air flow tremendously eliminating the collection of carbon on the heater element if your truck isn’t deleted. Buying a cheap 19 mm combination wrench and cutting a slot in the box end to remove the fuel lines will really make the install easier.

My mech loves these hoping it saves engine number 2 for me in my 22 We didnt rip the motor apart but I'm not taking the chance the motor in truck now was a 27000.00 buck repair and don't wanna do it again. Next will be the cam and lifter conversion kit

Installed the kit videos and information was very clear and easy to follow if you diy . Make sure before you order the kit you also order the banks map spacer sensor in order to get the proper air,fuel ratio . Works well so far no issues since a month and throttle response is much better

Only unboxed it so far but looks great. Really appreciate the install video very handy as I planned on tacking it these days off but after watching the install video thought best to wait till next days off and get some more tools from work. Happy with purchase this far will update once installed and running!
