Description
The Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake With Billet Intake Plate & Heater Grid will greatly increase the airflow into the lower manifold of your 2013-2018 Ram 6.7L Diesel. This intake was created utilizing the most up-to-date CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software and then tested on the road, the dyno and a flow bench. This intake is a direct-fit replacement with cast aluminum construction that offers instant power and greater acceleration.
The Monster-Ram intake system is enhanced with the addition of the High-Flow Heater and Billet Intake Plate. The High-Flow Heater replaces the restricted original heater grid plate, allowing for even more airflow. The vertical coil-style heater performs similarly to the stock heater grid in terms of cold start assistance, but without impeding airflow. The Banks Intake Plate replaces the restricted original grid heater plate, removing all obstructions and turbulence from the airflow channel.
Your truck's intake manifold is redesigned with the Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake With Billet Heater & Intake Plate. The original intake elbow is sharp and cramped to create space for the No. 1 fuel line. The No. 1 fuel line was re-engineered by Banks to allow for more airflow and less blockage in this intake. The standard intake manifold only flows 421 cfm (32.16 lbs/min), but this intake manifold with intake plate flows 936 cfm (71.5 lbs/min). The increased airflow provides a boost to the turbine without raising backpressure. The increased throttle response implies a more power-efficient engine with even more headroom than the standard intake manifold can provide for higher horsepower applications.
Prevent Damage
The bolt in the factory grid heater on your 2007.5-2018 Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel can loosen or melt, break off, and fall into the intake runner, making its way into the #6 cylinder. By replacing the stock, restrictive, grid heater with a billet high-flow intake plate, the risk of the bolt falling into the runner is alleviated and greater airflow was achieved. A coil heater that sits vertically within the Monster Ram’s aluminum casting assists with cold weather starts.

- 3-3/8” Inlet
- Four 1/8” NPT Ports
- Quicker Throttle Response
- Outflows Stock By Over 122%
- Optimizes Air Pressure & Distribution
- Accommodates Stock Mounting Points
- Larger & Less Restrictive Than Stock Intake
- Available In Natural Or Red Power-Coat Finish

Note:
This intake system is not compatible with the Cab & Chassis models.
Installation Tech Tip:
The MAP Sensor on this truck is mounted to the back of the intake elbow which you will be replacing with this Banks Monster-Ram. While replacement of the MAP Sensor is not required during the installation of this product, soot buildup over time can affect sensor accuracy by interfering with the pressure and temperature readings. For this reason, many take the opportunity to inspect, clean, and replace the MAP Sensor if necessary.

Changing away from OEM
High Plains Drifter (Colorado) | November 2nd, 2024
My 2015 Ran 3500 6.7 Cummins has never had this much spunk. Removing the worry of the OEM heater grid is worth every penny.

First experience with Banks products but this is the only option to resolve the grid heater problem. Machining quality and hardware is spot on and everything fit as it should. Downloadable instructions are not great and contradictory on several of the steps. Not sure what a shop would charge for installation but was definitely more time consuming than I expected. Make sure you are familiar with the instructions before you start. Fishing the center bolt for the intake thru the heater coil hole into the intake was a pain and avoiding a bolt rolling around in the intake is the whole reason I bought this! Definitely reduces intake restriction but I didn’t notice a drastic difference although I don’t hot rod the pickup around. Fuel economy reading is slowly ticking up so hopefully that continues but will take a while to equal $1000. Hopefully towing performance is better but haven't towed anything yet. Cheaper than eating the grid heater stud anyway. As always XDP performed as expected arrived quickly with no issues and first responder discount is appreciated!

Banks Monster Ram-Grid Heater Delete 42798-PC
Krazo (Four Seasons, Mo) | September 22nd, 2023
Just picked up my 2015 Ram after having the Banks Monster Ram Grid Heater Delete professionally installed today. Throttle response is much quicker and smoother than stock engine. Now I don’t have to worry about the part destroying my engine. It is like driving a different vehicle.
