If you have a 6.7L Cummins from the years of 2007.5-2024, you need to listen up. Cummins is a great engine, however, from these years Cummins has 1 major design flaw that is actively threatening your engine of catastrophic engine failure. This isn't hyperbole. This isn't an over exaggeration. Your engine has a grid heater that is in the intake side of the engine. The grid heater is held on by a bolt and nut—often called the "Killer Grid Heater Bolt"—that literally melts off, falls into your intake, and slips into the back 2 cylinders of your engine, essentially destroying it beyond repair.


The Banks Monster-Ram Solution

The reality of this problem isn't if you get lucky or hopefully it won't happen to you. It is a matter of when it happens. So you’re going to need to do something about it, but why choose Banks Power? Aside from the great reputation that Banks has, their Monster-Ram intake elbow for the Cummins platform is overdesigned in every sense of the term. Their intake is bigger than the stock one and is designed to flow 88.3% more air into your intake. This saves you on fuel economy or gives you more power when you need it. It also reduces wear on your turbo because it doesn't have to work as hard to flow the air required. They offer multiple heater options to give you up to 3000 watts of heating if you plan on starting your truck in cold weather. Banks has been rigorously third party tested and have always come out on top. They simply make the best product and that's why you should use them. Protect your truck by getting rid of the killer intake heater nut and get more fuel economy and performance at the same time.
