Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System

2019–2026 RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Part #: 42799-PC

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. Engineered to eliminate airflow restrictions, this intake system significantly improves throttle response and fuel economy. It replaces the factory’s failure-prone grid heater with a robust, high-flow cast intake plate, ensuring enhanced durability and reliability under demanding conditions. The Monster-Ram is the only intake elbow for RAM trucks that is fully compliant with 50-state emissions regulations, making it a smart choice for enthusiasts who demand both performance and legal compliance.

Whether you’re looking to optimize your truck’s power delivery or improve overall efficiency, the Monster-Ram intake system delivers a noticeable difference in engine responsiveness and boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure. Its design focuses on maximizing airflow and oxygen delivery to the cylinders, helping your Cummins engine perform at its best.

Key Features

• Quicker throttle response for improved driving dynamics
• Outflows stock intake by over 88.3%, reducing airflow restrictions
• Optimizes air pressure and distribution for more efficient combustion
• Larger and less restrictive design compared to factory intake
• Enhances flow of oxygen-rich air into engine cylinders
• Raises boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure
• 3-3/8 inch inlet diameter for superior airflow capacity
• Durable red powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and style
• Four 1/8 inch NPT ports for additional sensor or accessory installation
• Includes high-flow Banks coil heater to replace the factory grid heater
• Maintains compatibility with stock mounting points for straightforward installation
• Comes with proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware

Construction & Design

The Monster-Ram intake system is crafted from high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. The intake elbow features a precision-cast construction that ensures structural integrity and optimal airflow dynamics. Its red powder coat finish not only provides a visually striking appearance but also protects against corrosion and environmental wear. The design eliminates the factory’s fragile grid heater by incorporating a high-flow cast intake plate and a Banks coil heater, which is more reliable and efficient. This thoughtful engineering results in a durable, long-lasting component that enhances engine performance without compromising emissions compliance.

Performance & Sound

By significantly increasing airflow and optimizing air distribution, the Monster-Ram intake system improves throttle response and engine efficiency. Drivers will notice a more immediate and responsive throttle feel, which translates to better acceleration and overall drivability. The system raises boost pressure safely, contributing to enhanced power delivery without placing additional stress on the turbocharger. While the primary focus is on performance and efficiency, the intake’s design also helps maintain a clean and controlled engine sound characteristic of the Cummins diesel.
