Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System

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

Part #: 42805-R

Overview

The Banks Monster-Ram Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 6.7L Cummins engine found in 2019 through 2026 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks. Engineered to eliminate airflow restrictions, this intake system delivers quicker throttle response and improved fuel economy by optimizing the flow of oxygen-rich air into the engine’s cylinders. It replaces the factory intake elbow with a larger, less restrictive design that enhances boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure, ensuring your Cummins runs more efficiently and responsively under all conditions.

Built for diesel enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliability and performance, the Monster-Ram intake also addresses a common failure point in stock systems by removing the fragile grid heater and replacing it with Banks’ high-flow cast intake plate. This upgrade not only improves airflow but also enhances durability and reduces the risk of severe engine damage.

Key Features

The Monster-Ram Intake System incorporates advanced design and engineering to maximize airflow and engine protection. Key features include:

• Quicker throttle response for improved drivability
• Outflows stock intake by over 88.3%, significantly reducing airflow restrictions
• Optimizes air pressure and distribution for better combustion efficiency
• Larger and less restrictive intake elbow compared to factory design
• Raises boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure, enhancing performance
• 3-3/8 inch inlet diameter to accommodate increased airflow
• Durable red powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and long-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 fit using stock mounting points for straightforward installation

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 features a robust cast construction that replaces the failure-prone factory grid heater with a solid, high-flow cast intake plate. This design eliminates a common weak point while maintaining optimal airflow characteristics. The red powder coat finish not only enhances the system’s durability but also adds a distinctive look under the hood. Precision engineering ensures that the intake fits seamlessly with existing components, preserving factory mounting points and maintaining a clean, professional installation.

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 feel when accelerating, along with potential improvements in fuel economy due to better combustion. The system raises boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure, allowing the turbocharger to operate more efficiently. While primarily focused on performance and reliability, the intake’s design may also contribute to a subtle enhancement in engine sound, delivering a more aggressive intake tone without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

The Banks Monster-Ram Intake System is designed for direct fitment on 2019–2026 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation is straightforward, utilizing all stock mounting points to ensure a secure and precise fit. The system includes all necessary hardware and a proprietary fuel line to simplify the upgrade process. No major modifications are required, making it an ideal bolt-on enhancement for diesel owners seeking improved performance and durability.
