Although our engineers are keeping the power numbers close to the vest, I suspect we'll see more power than we did in the previous generation of L5P. As GM improves the engine's thermodynamics, it giv

Jay from Banks here. Here's a little backstory on what it will take to get the Derringer, Ram-Air Intake, and Monster-Exhaust to market. The moral of the story is to be wary of any manufacturer that r

Yes, we sure are. We have Test Pilots evaluating the tuner right now. We hope to make an announcement in the next few weeks about its launch.

Hmmm, I thought the change in turbo (10- blade vs. 11-blade) and some of the other things Gale mentioned would have made the gen2 L5P have a higher ceiling...

The turbo upgrades raised the power level, not the ceiling. The ceiling is set by thermal and emissions limits.

What are the ceiling parameters? 

Are those Banks or GMs?

GM's ceiling. In other words, there are thermal limits like EGT, IAT, Mass Air Flow, etc, that GM doesn't allow you to exceed. The ECM fights back. Our job is to identify those limits through a few weeks of dyno tests, then back down Derringer's added power until everything is happy and repeatable.

Still waiting, truck pulling season is coming soon! Are we getting any closer?


@Knottyboyz Steve with Banks here. Yes, we’re getting close. Beta testing is progressing well, and based on feedback from our engineering team, we’re anticipating another 4–6 weeks of testing before moving into production. Please note that we do not have horsepower figures or pricing available at this time. Attached are screenshots featuring feedback from a few of our Banks Test Pilots on the 2024+ L5P Duramax Derringer, shared in our Duramax Facebook group.

Thanks Steve for the update!
 

Curiously will the intake and exhaust share the same roll out dates as the Derringer or will it be a phased roll out? 
 

Thanks!

@davidm767 I have updates for the intake and exhaust as well. The Ram-Air intake is in its beta-test phase with about a dozen Test Pilots. See below. Currently, we are ensuring that the new mass airflow intercept module and tubing we have developed function correctly. Please expect it around the same time as the Derringer.

The Monster Exhaust has been pushed back by about six months. We have all of the tubing sorted; what is needed is a piece of electronics to help intercept the computer so the truck does not freak out. The truck is sensitive to any changes in change with exhaust even after the DPF.The development time for materials and programming is going to take us a moment. We have tried tirelessly for the last few months to try and make the exhaust work by itself. Unfortunately, it will not work without electronic intervention.

Steve, I already bought the data idash pro, will there be a version of the derringer without the gauge? Looks like on the 23 it only comes with the gauge.

The Derringer for the 2024+ L5p, when offered, will have a kit option for those who already have an existing iDash Pro just like other Derringer kits.

It’s finally out! Both the Derringer and the Ram-Air are available to purchase!

Yes, finally! It is important to note the Ram-Air intake will NOT work for the 2025 model years, only the 2024. GM added a PCV sensor for the '25 model year. It has to do with ever-tightening emissions. The forthcoming Ram-Air Intake for the '25 will include both the Banks Air Mass Control Module which plugs into the MAF sensor, and a PCV sensor module. These modules are what allows us to flow greater air mass. Meanwhile, all other intake brands are stuck with stock airflow. Stay tuned for a release date.

Got my intake and loving it! Any update on the exhaust or when the derringer will be CARB compliant?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
