Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake and Killer Grid Heater Upgrade – 2013-2018 Ram 3500/4500/5500 6.7 L Cummins Chassis-Cab

Upgrade your 2013-2018 Ram 3500/4500/5500 equipped with the 6.7 L Cummins engine using the Banks Power Monster-Ram Kit (42804). This race-inspired, emissions-compliant intake system improves airflow, enhances throttle response, and eliminates a common failure point for long-term reliability.

Product Overview

The Monster-Ram Intake & Killer Grid Heater Upgrade is engineered specifically for the chassis-cab Ram models. It replaces the restrictive factory intake path and the failure-prone grid heater with a high-flow cast intake plate and coil heater to deliver superior performance under demanding conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Flows up to 72.7 lb/min compared to the factory 38.6 lb/min — a +88 % improvement
• Larger, less restrictive 3-3/8″ inlet and fully port-matched cast intake plate.
• Eliminates the factory “killer grid heater” — one of the most common engine failure-points.
• Four 1/8″ NPT sensor ports for monitoring intake pressure, temperature, or flow.
• Retains all OEM emissions equipment; designed for broad state compliance (CARB-EO pending).
• Finish options include red powder-coat or natural raw finish.

Why It’s Better

The Monster-Ram isn’t just a standard intake upgrade — it’s a full solution for increased airflow and reliability. By massively improving mass air flow and eliminating a known weak point, it delivers noticeable throttle response, improved efficiency for heavy hauling or daily driving, and establishes a strong base for further performance enhancements.
