Increases Monster-Ram to 1500 watts total heat output

About This Product

Add the Banks 750 Watt Heater Upgrade Kit to your Monster-Ram for cold-weather starts as low as -30°F/-34°C with block heat and -20°F/-29°C without block heat.

Built To Survive

This simple bolt-on kit requires no maintenance. Unlike the factory Cummins grid heater, which can fail and destroy your engine, Banks coil heaters are designed to fail safely, avoiding catastrophic engine damage.

Cold Weather Starting Recommendations

The Banks Dual-Heat Upgrade Kit is designed around RAM’s block heating recommendations.

RAM recommends the use of a block heater at 0°F/-17°C and mandates its use at -20°F/-29°C. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to premature wear and/or failure of key components, including pistons, rings, and cylinder walls.

Test Criteria

We followed RAM's cold start recommendations. Per the owner’s manual, RAM recommends the use of the block heater when the temperature drops below 0°F/-17°C and mandates the block heater at temperatures below -20°F/-29°C.

Using a controlled climate chamber, our first test utilized block heat and two Banks coil heaters (1500 watts total). The Monster-Ram enabled our test truck to cold start down to -30°F/-34°C. Against RAM’s recommendations, we also attempted to cold start with the same two coil heaters and no block heat. We were able to cold start down to -20°F/-29°C. 

All tests were performed with two intake air pre-heat cycles per the owner’s manual. Intake air temperature is just one factor contributing to a successful cold start. Individual results may vary. Testing is ongoing with a detailed video forthcoming.
