Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System
2013–2018 RAM 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab 6.7L Cummins
Part #: 42804-R
Overview
The Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System is engineered specifically for the 2013–2018 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Designed to dramatically improve throttle response and fuel economy, this intake system eliminates airflow restrictions commonly found in the factory setup. Featuring a patent-pending design, the Monster-Ram replaces the failure-prone factory grid heater with a high-flow cast intake plate, preventing severe engine damage and enhancing reliability.
This intake system is ideal for RAM owners seeking a durable, emissions-compliant upgrade that delivers measurable performance improvements without sacrificing legal compliance. The Monster-Ram’s robust construction and optimized airflow make it a true powerhouse for daily driving and heavy-duty applications alike.
Key Features
Built to maximize airflow and engine efficiency, the Monster-Ram Intake System offers a range of advanced features:
- Quicker throttle response for improved driving dynamics
- Outflows stock intake by over 88.3%, significantly reducing airflow restrictions
- Optimizes air pressure and distribution for enhanced combustion efficiency
- Larger and less restrictive design compared to the factory intake elbow
- Improves the flow of oxygen-rich air into the engine cylinders
- Raises boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure
- 3-3/8 inch inlet diameter for superior airflow capacity
- Durable red powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and style
- Four 1/8 inch NPT ports for accessory integration
- Includes high-flow Banks coil heater to replace the factory grid heater
- Accommodates all stock mounting points for straightforward installation
- Comes with proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware
Construction & Design
The Monster-Ram Intake System is crafted from high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. Its cast intake plate replaces the fragile factory grid heater, eliminating a common failure point and enhancing durability. The intake elbow is precision-engineered to optimize airflow dynamics, featuring a smooth, large-diameter inlet that reduces turbulence and maximizes oxygen delivery to the engine.
The vibrant red powder coat finish not only provides a striking appearance under the hood but also protects against corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Performance & Sound
By significantly increasing airflow and improving air distribution, the Monster-Ram Intake System enhances throttle response and engine efficiency. Drivers will notice a more immediate and responsive feel when accelerating, along with potential improvements in fuel economy. The system raises boost pressure without additional turbine stress, contributing to smoother and more powerful engine operation.
Installation & Fitment
Designed as a direct replacement for the factory intake elbow, the Monster-Ram installs easily using existing mounting points with no modifications required. The kit includes all necessary hardware and proprietary fuel line components to ensure a seamless installation process. This intake system fits 2013 through 2018 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine.

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!
