I have been talking with Banks Power. They would be interested in a group purchase of 15 or more Ram-Air systems. The savings would me more than $50 per unit. Reply or PM me if you are interested.

I would be interested, but they don't offer 1 for my truck. 09 2500HD with 6.0. Talked to them about a month ago and they said they will keep me on file and notify me if they come out with one for the truck.

terrible product total rip offf all banks products are great marketing terrible product the raim air works as a great water pick up and thats about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

The product I was interested in was the CAI kit, not the "snorkel". I believe the "snorkel" would be a bad idea for a daily driven truck also.

HD Classic, see you have the 6.0 also, check with Banks to make sure it will fit your truck first. Read yesterday on another board that a guy with an 06 2500 HD with the 6.0 bought it and it doesn't fit his truck. Contacted Banks and they said they didn't offer it for his truck and it was for the 1500's.

 

Markd, is it possible the guy you are talking to you can let him know that you have some guys that are interested in the system but they have the 6.0 motor and maybe they will make 1 for us?

I have a banks CAI on my 6.0. I like it, they don't offer the snorkle for it, but I don't think that I would want that anyway. MPG was slightly better, but it would tank a Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time for it to pay for it's self. It does have a deeper sound when you give it gas :shakehead:

The website says that the ram air does not fit 2008, 2500 and 3500 pick-ups. I notice that you have a 2008 pick-up, did they say that it would fit your truck? I have a 2008 silverado 2500 HD, I would be interested, but it does not fit my truck.

Definately interested, If they made one to fit a 2007 NBS with 6.0l.

"""BANKS, ARE YOU LISTENING"""

While they are at it , how about a good exhaust system for a ext. cab long bed 4x4.

Any idea what the final price would be?? I talked with Banks today and normal price is $430. $50 off that would be $380. There are multiple places selling them on the internet for $358.20. The guy I talked to at Banks said he would sell it to me for that price as well, but that is the lowest anyone is allowed to sell it for. Not really sure what a "group buy" would do for us.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Blazer is all put back together. Another hard-won battle. The 4.3 is not easy to work on in such an archaic and narrow chassis originally designed for an inline 4.   My baffle issue is solved. I returned to the OG junkyard but was ready for a fight. The Blazer I had picked from was stacked on another vehicle so I had no idea how the heck I was going to get myself to working height to pull the front end apart. I had seen an S10 pickup on the ground so I was hoping the part would be the same, AND, I couldn't remember if the S10 still had a front end or not. But I didn't need to worry because it turned out to be my lucky day. The yard had just taken in a '98 Blazer, sitting right up front, on the ground, with room to work around it, and the front end hadn't been hit. The baffle and all the clips were factory perfect. I also scored another good handful of odds/ends and the whole shebang only cost me $20.   Got everything back together and it fired right off, sounds good, runs good. I've got a little coolant drip from a lower water pump bolt (D'OH!!). I did the right thing and snugged it down a little bit, and of course that didn't fix it. Yet again, I will have to soak everything in coolant to drain it down to the water pump, remove the bolt, and attempt to re-seal it. Nothing is easy on this truck. Nothing. But now all the radiator plastics are correct, snug, and fully functional. No more rubbing on the cooling fan. It runs, drives (took it for a 30 mile drive last night), no Check Engine lights, EGR is working, no vacuum leaks. We're getting closer...   The replacement wiper motor arrived yesterday. The tailgate was already disassembled and waiting, so I threw that in. It works! Sort of. Two new issues on the list. While the motor is strong enough and the gears aren't stripped, the wiper is hanging up on the bottom of the rear glass. This is the old style where the lower half folds down like a truck tailgate, and the glass swings up, and they meet in the middle when closed. The glass isn't sitting flush with the tailgate, now that I look at it. No rubber bumpers that I can see for adjusting, so I'll have to look at the hinge adjustment to see if I can correct it. Also, the washer/squirter just dumps fluid underneath the truck. The lines actually run inside on the floor so I'm guessing the tailgate is soaked at the rear trim and the line is disconnected. There's also a drain there....probably for this reason.   The leaky water pump bolt was really disappointing. JUST STOP LEAKING...OMG!!   Replacing the window motor and a rear door speaker are still to do, and then everything will work. I want this to feel like a "good" vehicle worthy of dropping $600 for new tires before I do. That means no leaking first. I hurt, and I'm kind of cranky, so I'll probably take a day of rest and do the water pump again tomorrow.

      Just saw on Jay Leno the new Scout. That’s the way it should be done.

      EV's have their nuances too. Best to operate the current type of lithium batteries between 20-80% charge. No real need to charge until you hit around 20%. Occasionally charge to 100% when needed. Longer term storage, battery should be 50-60%. At least those are the guidelines for our iX. We've been exceptionally good to the battery in that car...easy to do when you can charge at home like we can.   EV's lack so many of the rituals and so much of the visceral feeling ICE vehicles provide, which is why I think they're hard to accept for a lot of gearheads. They're fun in different ways, though.

      We have got a lot of rain lately, we needed it. Storms/lightning took out a floor fan. Dirt roads badly rutted from run off.   Power here is sketchy, whole house surge protector in the service panel and all electronics plugged into surge protectors. My biggest concern is my stereo, I've been an audio nut for years. $25 k in equipment. Stereo is on it's own special surge protector.

      Happy Birthday!  I also turned 72 this year.  In some groups I consider myself to be a young senior and in others I realize I have serious years behind me!  In June I spent a week in the hospital due to a blood clot following knee replacement surgery.  The hospital Doctor assigned to my care specialized in Geriatric medicine!  He is a great Doctor but the fact I required this type of specialized care  made me feel old!  Aging comes with new challenges but I sure appreciate getting older!  It most definitely beats the alternative!!
