Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System

2019–2026 RAM 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab 6.7L Cummins

Part #: 42805-N

Overview

The Banks Monster-Ram Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 6.7L Cummins engines found in 2019 through 2026 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks. Engineered to dramatically improve throttle response and fuel economy, this intake system eliminates airflow restrictions that limit stock performance. By replacing the factory intake elbow with a larger, more efficient design, the Monster-Ram optimizes air delivery to the engine, resulting in enhanced power and responsiveness.

Built with durability and reliability in mind, the Monster-Ram features a patent-pending design that removes the failure-prone factory grid heater and replaces it with a high-flow cast intake plate and a Banks coil heater. This upgrade not only improves airflow but also prevents severe engine damage caused by heater failure. 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 both performance enthusiasts and daily drivers.

Key Features

The Monster-Ram Intake System offers a range of advanced features that set it apart from the stock intake and other aftermarket options:

• Quicker throttle response for more immediate engine reaction
• Outflows stock intake by over 88.3%, significantly reducing airflow restriction
• Optimizes air pressure and distribution for improved combustion efficiency
• Larger and less restrictive design compared to factory intake elbow
• Improves flow of oxygen-rich air into the engine cylinders
• Raises boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure
• 3-3/8 inch inlet diameter for enhanced air volume
• Durable red powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and lasting appearance
• Four 1/8 inch NPT ports for additional sensor or accessory integration
• Includes high-flow Banks coil heater to replace the factory grid heater
• Designed to accommodate all stock mounting points for straightforward installation
• Comes with proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware for a complete upgrade

Construction & Design

The Monster-Ram Intake System is crafted from high-quality materials engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty diesel applications. The intake elbow is precision cast to ensure optimal airflow dynamics and structural integrity. Its robust construction resists heat and corrosion, while the red powder coat finish provides additional protection and a distinctive look under the hood. The design eliminates the factory grid heater, a common failure point, replacing it with a durable cast intake plate and a high-flow coil heater that maintains cold start performance without compromising reliability.

Performance & Sound

By significantly increasing airflow and optimizing air pressure, the Monster-Ram Intake System enhances engine breathing, which translates to improved throttle response and potentially better fuel economy. The system raises boost pressure without adding stress to the turbocharger, allowing the engine to perform more efficiently. While primarily focused on airflow and performance gains, the intake system may also contribute to a more aggressive intake sound, giving your RAM a more commanding presence.

Installation & Fitment

The Monster-Ram Intake System is designed for a direct fit on 2019–2026 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. It utilizes all factory mounting points, ensuring a secure and straightforward installation process without the need for modifications. The kit includes all necessary hardware and a proprietary fuel line to facilitate a seamless upgrade. Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools and mechanical knowledge.
