The 2013-2018 Cummins Gen 2 Monster-Ram Intake boosts your truck’s airflow by 122%, delivering more power right from startup. Unlike others, it includes a fuel line relocation kit so nothing blocks the airflow. More air, more power, no compromises.
Now Dual Heat Capable! The Monster-Ram still comes standard with the Banks 750-watt coil heater, but now you can add a second heater for up to 1500 watts of cold-start power, all without sacrificing airflow.
Part Number: 42798

Installation
Notes
- If you're interested in a red ram air intake and want a matching block off plate and throttle valve upgrade, Banks Bengal Red Powdercoat option is a direct match.
- All emission systems are retained, maintaining 50-state compliance and a CARB-EO.
Additional Info
Protection
- Due to heat, vibration, and time, a nut and stud from the factory heater grid have been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Once this happens, it will roll downhill into cylinder #6, causing a catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head.

Stock Heater Chokes Performance
The stock heater assembly is an airflow roadblock and becomes a magnet for soot and carbon buildup.
