Banks Power Ram-Air Cold Air Intake System
2013–2018 RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins
Part #: 42255
Overview
The Banks Power Ram-Air Cold Air Intake System is engineered specifically for the 2013 through 2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Designed to feed your engine with cooler, denser outside air, this intake system enhances combustion efficiency, resulting in improved power output and better fuel economy. By replacing the restrictive factory intake, the Ram-Air system delivers up to 66% greater airflow, allowing your Cummins engine to breathe more freely under all driving conditions.
Ideal for diesel enthusiasts and professionals seeking reliable performance gains without sacrificing durability, this intake system is extensively tested and validated through advanced computational fluid dynamics, flowbench analysis, and real-world vehicle testing. The result is a proven upgrade that helps your engine run cooler, perform stronger, and maintain longevity.
Key Features
The Banks Ram-Air Cold Air Intake System offers a combination of innovative design and robust construction to maximize airflow and filtration efficiency. Key features include:
- Up to 66% greater airflow compared to the stock intake system for enhanced engine performance
- Enclosed housing design that prevents hot engine air from entering, ensuring intake of cooler outside air
- Giant high-flow oiled air filter element that maximizes filtration while extending service intervals
- Engineered to accommodate engine movement, reducing the risk of component damage
- Helps maintain lower engine temperatures for improved reliability and efficiency
- Extensively tested and validated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), flowbench, and vehicle testing
- Durable construction designed to withstand harsh under-hood environments
- Backed by a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind
Construction & Design
The Ram-Air Cold Air Intake System features a rugged, enclosed housing that protects the intake air from heat soak and contaminants. The design ensures that only cool, dense outside air reaches the engine, which is critical for maximizing combustion efficiency and power output. The large oiled filter element is crafted from high-quality media that balances excellent filtration with minimal airflow restriction, reducing the need for frequent cleanings and extending filter life.
All components are engineered to accommodate the natural movement of the engine during operation, preventing stress and potential damage to the intake system. This thoughtful design contributes to the system’s durability and long-term reliability, even under demanding driving conditions.
Performance & Sound
By increasing airflow by up to 66%, the Banks Ram-Air Intake improves throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Cooler intake air helps the engine produce more power and torque while also contributing to better fuel economy. The intake system’s design minimizes intake noise, providing a refined yet aggressive sound that enhances the driving experience without excessive drone.
Installation & Fitment
The Banks Ram-Air Cold Air Intake System is designed for a direct bolt-on installation on 2013–2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation requires no permanent modifications and can be completed with basic hand tools. The system’s components are engineered to fit precisely, ensuring a secure and professional installation that maintains factory reliability and serviceability.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
