Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake & Killer Grid Heater Upgrade (42799) – 2019-2021 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Upgrade your 2019-2021 Ram 2500 or 3500 equipped with the 6.7 L Cummins engine using the Monster-Ram Intake & Killer Grid Heater Upgrade (42799). This advanced system replaces the restrictive factory intake elbow and vulnerable grid heater to deliver superior airflow, improved throttle response, and enhanced long-term reliability.

Product Overview

The Monster-Ram kit is engineered specifically for the 2019-2021 Ram 2500/3500 trucks with the 6.7 L Cummins. By removing the factory grid heater (a known weak point) and installing a high-flow cast intake plate with a coil heater, this upgrade boosts performance while maintaining emissions compliance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Flows over 88% more than stock, delivering noticeably improved throttle response. 
• Large 3-3/8″ inlet and fully port-matched high-flow casting for maximum unrestricted airflow.
• Eliminates the failure-prone factory grid heater bolt, helping prevent catastrophic engine damage. 
• Includes coil heater (750 W standard, upgradeable to 1500 W) and retains OEM emissions equipment for full 50-state compliance. 
• Four 1/8″ NPT sensor ports designed for intake pressure, temperature or flow monitoring. 
• Finish options include Red or Black powder-coat or Natural Raw Aluminum to match your engine bay.

Why It’s Better

The Monster-Ram isn’t just another intake elbow—it’s a major upgrade in airflow architecture. By dramatically increasing mass air flow and eliminating a known failure point, this system delivers responsive throttle, better efficiency when hauling or towing, and solid performance headroom for future upgrades.
