2019-2024 Cummins Monster Ram Intake & Grid Heater Upgrade (42799)

Fits

The Banks Monster-Ram Intake improves airflow from the intercooler, it increases airflow in your Cummins to 906CFM (69.22 lbs/min) compared to stocks measly 432CFM (33.00 lbs/min). By doing this, it raises your boost without increasing backpressure at the turbine. The result of this is a more responsive, powerful, and efficient engine.

The Monster-Ram includes 4 1/8" NPT ports for flexibility, the two top NPT ports are positioned to allow for proper atomization directly in the center of the air mass while preventing wall wetting. It also accommodates stock mounting points including the Temperature & Pressure Sensors, Wire Harness, and Dipstick Tube. 

A simple, direct-replacement casting, Monster-Ram is instant power, performance, and acceleration gratification. 

Part Number: 42799 / 42799-PC / 42799-B

• Raises boost without increasing turbine drive pressure
• Eliminates the risk of engine failure due to parts loosening and falling into the engine while maintaining OEM-like cold weather engine start performance.
• Banks-exclusive coil heater sits vertically inside the Monster-Ram without hindering airflow. This allows the factory grid heater to be replaced with the Banks High-Flow Billet Plate.
• Includes High Flow Heater And Billet Intake
• Larger and less restrictive than stock intake
• Improves flow of oxygen-rich air into cylinders
• Quicker throttle response
• Optimizes air pressure and distribution
• Outflows stock over 122%
• 3-3/8" inlet
• Four 1/8" NPT ports
• Accommodates stock mounting points
• Includes proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware

• Will NOT fit Cab & Chassis Models. Click Here for C&C
• Also Fits Dual-Alternator Engines
• All emission systems are retained, maintaining 50 State compliance and a CARB-EO.

What It Does

The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min with Banks’ New Coil Heater and High-Flow Billet Intake Plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF. That is a huge 88.3% improvement over stock you can feel!

The proprietary design raises boost without increasing back-pressure at the turbine. The result is improved engine response, efficiency, and headroom for daily driving and heavy hauling.

There are two devices on your Cummins engine that increase air density; the turbocharger and the intercooler.

Anything in the system that doesn’t create air density, cuts air density. Banks designed the Monster-Ram to get back that lost air density.

It's All About Mass Air Flow

The secret to the Monster-Ram's performance is not just airflow, but the quality and literal weight of the air it flows. Your Cummins engine is limited in the volume of air it can flow through its 6 cylinders even at max RPM.

By increasing the mass of the air delivered to each cylinder, your stock-tuned engine will breathe more efficiently with less stress and set the stage for huge power gains when stacked with a tune.

How It's Done

Your Cummins engine consumes a massive amount of air and struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed inlet. The stock horn causes boost loss at the same flow while the Banks Monster-Ram has a wide, unrestricted, free-flowing path.

Engineering a better solution

All other replacement manifolds are compromised thanks to the No. 1 fuel line, which obstructs the airflow path.

The Monster-Ram offers unparalleled airflow thanks to its custom-engineered fuel line.

All this without the need for tuning.

Monitor everything

If you have an existing iDash setup, the Monster-Ram has four 1/8 inch NPT ports for installing temperature, pressure, or flow sensors.

Cummins Ticking Time Bomb

Due to heat, vibration, and time, a nut and stud from the factory heater grid has been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Once this happens, it will roll downhill into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head.
