Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System

2019–2026 RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Part #: 42799

Overview

The Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2019–2026 RAM 2500 and 3500 equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. This intake system dramatically improves airflow from the intercooler, delivering a significant increase in mass air flow compared to the stock setup. By optimizing boost pressure without adding backpressure at the turbine, the Monster-Ram enhances engine responsiveness and efficiency, providing a solid foundation for higher horsepower builds.

Ideal for diesel enthusiasts seeking improved power delivery and throttle response, the Monster-Ram is a direct replacement part engineered to maximize the potential of your Cummins engine while maintaining reliable cold-start performance.

Key Features

The Monster-Ram Intake System incorporates advanced engineering and innovative design elements to deliver superior airflow and performance gains:

• Flows 72.7 lbs/min MAF, nearly doubling the stock flow rate of 38.6 lbs/min MAF for enhanced engine breathing.
• Includes Banks’ High-Flow Heater, a vertical coil-style heater that replaces the restrictive stock heater grid plate, maintaining cold start functionality without obstructing airflow.
• Features a Billet Intake Plate that eliminates turbulence and obstructions in the airflow path, optimizing air delivery to the engine.
• Designed using cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated through flow bench testing, dyno runs, and real-world driving.
• Comes with a newly engineered No. 1 fuel line that allows for a more direct and less restrictive air path compared to the factory elbow.
• Constructed as a direct-replacement aluminum casting for durability and ease of installation.
• Equipped with four 1/8” NPT ports for easy integration of temperature and pressure sensors, enabling extensive data acquisition and tuning possibilities.
• Outperforms all tested competitors, delivering more than double the improvement over the closest rival intake system.

Construction & Design

The Monster-Ram is crafted from high-quality aluminum casting, ensuring strength and heat resistance under demanding conditions. Banks Power engineers leveraged advanced CFD modeling to refine the intake’s internal geometry, minimizing airflow restrictions and turbulence. The design also includes a custom No. 1 fuel line that replaces the cramped, angular factory elbow, allowing for a smoother, more efficient air path. This meticulous engineering results in a robust, precision-built intake system that enhances both performance and reliability.

Performance & Sound

By significantly increasing mass air flow and raising boost pressure without additional turbine backpressure, the Monster-Ram delivers a more responsive throttle and improved power efficiency. Drivers will notice quicker acceleration and enhanced engine performance, especially under heavy load or towing conditions. The system maintains the factory cold start heater functionality while eliminating airflow restrictions, contributing to consistent performance in all weather conditions.

Installation & Fitment

The Monster-Ram Intake System is designed as a direct replacement for the stock intake on 2019–2026 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation requires no permanent modifications and utilizes the included Banks-designed No. 1 fuel line to ensure proper fitment and clearance. The upgrade can be completed with basic hand tools and does not require specialized equipment, making it accessible for professional installers and experienced enthusiasts alike.
