Banks Six Gun Bundle

LBnative · March 13, 2005

Has anyone had the Banks Six Gun Bundle installed? It includes the six gun tuner with the speed loader.

Here is a description from their website:

Now owners of ’01-05 6.6L Duramax pickups can bolt-on enormous power gains with Banks Six-Gun Diesel Tuner and Speed-Loader™ upgrade…or go for the whole airflow/fuel delivery package with a Six-Gun Bundle.

The Six-Gun Tuner offers the highest proven horsepower and torque—up to +128 hp and +345 lb-ft of ground-chewing power, and with Speed-Loader, up to +155 hp and +385 lb-ft (with recommended Six-Gun Bundle airflow improvements). Only Six-Gun is Stacked for Power™ to tune pulse width, timing and fuel pressure, all in one device. No need to buy two competitive products to do what Banks Six-Gun Tuner does on its own! Six-Gun provides six levels of power the user can change on-the-fly by simply turning a dash-mounted knob; and contains a suite of electronic AutoRate™ and ActiveSafety™ features to safeguard the powertrain. Six-Gun is introductory priced at $625, and the Speed-Loader option is $99.

Banks Six-Gun Bundle starts with the Six-Gun Tuner and Speed-Loader, and adds an army of intake, turbo and exhaust upgrades, including a 100% stainless 4" constant-diameter Monster exhaust … a free-flowing, polished stainless 4" straight-through Monster® muffler for a rich, throaty “Don’t mess with me!” sound … 5" polished stainless double-wall tailpipe tip with rolled edge … BigHead® wastegate actuator … lifetime Banks Ram-Air® filter assembly … exclusive DynaFact® boost gauge & pyrometer assembly … and a lifetime limited warranty.

I can get it installed at the Gale Banks shop for $1850. I'm really on the fence about this one, but it looks pretty good to me.

Any thoughts?

They installed/tested it on a DMax on a Trucks! epsiode. That thing will throw the truck sideways from a standstill with ease. If I had a DMax, that would be the first thing I'd buy.

Do a search over at Diesel Place and you will find some opinions. Not many are high on it......

I personally dont care for Banks. I have a buddy that got in on his chevy duramax and he's unhappy with it.

For the short period that I had my '04 GMC duramax, I read s**tty things about Banks. I installed the Edge, MBRP 4" dual exhaust, and a AFE intake. The only thing I had was a Banks big head wastegate which was a good investement. But thats all would buy from Banks. I would go Edge or TTS.
