Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake System
2013–2018 RAM 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab 6.7L Cummins
Part #: 42804-N
Overview
The Banks Monster-Ram Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2013–2018 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab models equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Engineered to eliminate airflow restrictions, this intake system significantly improves throttle response and fuel economy. By replacing the factory’s failure-prone grid heater with a robust, high-flow cast intake plate, the Monster-Ram prevents severe engine damage and enhances reliability.
Built for diesel enthusiasts and professionals seeking dependable power gains and improved efficiency, the Monster-Ram delivers optimized air pressure and distribution to the engine’s cylinders. This upgrade is ideal for those who want to maximize their RAM’s performance without compromising emissions compliance or daily drivability.
Key Features
The Monster-Ram Intake System offers a range of advanced features that set it apart from the stock intake elbow:
- Quicker throttle response for improved engine responsiveness
- Outflows stock intake by over 88.3%, allowing more oxygen-rich air into the engine
- Optimizes air pressure and distribution for enhanced combustion efficiency
- Larger and less restrictive design compared to factory intake
- Raises boost pressure without increasing turbine drive pressure
- 3-3/8 inch inlet diameter for superior airflow
- Durable red powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and long-lasting appearance
- Equipped with four 1/8 inch NPT ports for additional sensor or accessory integration
- Includes high-flow Banks Coil Heater to replace the factory grid heater
- Maintains compatibility with all stock mounting points for straightforward installation
Construction & Design
The Monster-Ram Intake System is crafted from high-quality cast materials engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty diesel applications. Its robust construction eliminates the weak points found in the factory grid heater, replacing it with a solid, high-flow intake plate that ensures consistent airflow and durability. The red powder coat finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a distinctive look under the hood. Precision engineering ensures the intake fits seamlessly with existing factory components, maintaining OEM mounting locations and minimizing installation complexity.
Performance & Sound
By significantly increasing airflow and optimizing air distribution, the Monster-Ram Intake System improves throttle response and engine efficiency. This results in a noticeable improvement in drivability and fuel economy. The system raises boost pressure without adding stress to the turbocharger, allowing the engine to breathe easier and perform more effectively under load. While primarily focused on performance gains, the intake’s design also contributes to a smoother engine sound characteristic of a well-tuned diesel setup.
Installation & Fitment
The Monster-Ram Intake System is designed for a direct bolt-on installation on 2013–2018 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. It utilizes all stock mounting points and includes proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware, making installation straightforward with no permanent modifications required. The system replaces the factory intake elbow and grid heater, simplifying the intake path and improving reliability.

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!
