Adding 120 HP to a 20 year-old Diesel 

The crossover i didnt know i needed.

Gale is an American icon.. What an amazing life he's lead

I just knew the military contact would prevent us from seeing the engine assembly room 😆

Shaw doesn’t understand one word that Gale says, lol, but he knows it means awesome things for his Excursion, and that’s all he needs to hear.

What blows my mind is how manufacturers don’t study this man and his colleagues engineering theories to make modern diesel trucks better for the consumer

Missed out not showing the driving reaction!

Gale Banks is nothing short of an American badass. He has forgotten more about performance than all of those other bubba diesel channel bubbas ever knew. Awesome video and great work Mr. Banks.

"You must be Brian" No Gale, this is just another 6'8", 300+lb giant that could give some of your engines a run for their money.

I’ve driven a JLTV in the Marine Corps for a bit on my first deployment. You can just send it.

I use Gale’s videos to teach my HVAC apprenticeship students about air density, refrigerant enthalpy, the gas laws etc. They almost always think they won’t get it down in the beginning but after watching Gale explain the way he does with the graphics and parts right there, they are shocked how they understand. Thank you Mr Banks. Would Gale be interested in doing some videos on how he stays so healthy? His diet, exercise plan, stress relief, life philosophy. Imagine if he showed his blood work, VO2 max and all his vitals and then explained them as he does with engines. He could get thousands of men healthy and mentally sharper. Gales mental cognition at his age is even more impressive than his unbelievable physical condition. I know that this is private and a personal thing to ask but it would be a great help to humanity. The modern medical system is the equivalent of black smoke spewing with the throw drugs at the problem and just telling us we are all shot by 40. Thanks Mr Banks for all you do. As a veteran, those 6.2 and 6.5 were death traps. You have saved lives.

2:08 it's crazy, I can't believe I only found out about Mr. Banks in the last few years... He's literally been making hot rods since before even my father was born

Mr. banks, you are a visionary automotive genius. Thank you for your research leading to the vast improvements in the diesel industry. You bring us stuff that we didn’t know we needed until you have proven that we need them because they make the industry better.

that little engine cover is badass

I'd kill to own the truck but I'd give it up in a heartbeat to meet Gale Banks and have the opportunity to walk around and talk with him. So much knowledge within that man. Great job!

G. Banks has been a long time inspiration to me. The man is an absolute legend when it comes to making power from and ICE engine.

Gale Banks, he's the best, he's the man ❗️

My favorite engine guys and my favorite strongman. That’s awesome.

Like , 200 horse retardation power , i.e. exhaust brake . The converter lockup and clutch tightening while engaged is pure genius .

Banks is what true tuning is! He is a freaking legend would love to see them step a bit into the smaller displacement stuff as well! Beyond the data monster ect!

I use to watch Worlds Strongest Man just to see Shaw go to work💪

Great video. Brian is such a friendly giant.

Gale is an absolute legend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Banks always impresses me, great video 👍😁

Gorgeous, incredible job on that excursion!!! My excursion has the v10. 400,000 miles on it. But its getting tired. Its time for a restoration.

I remember the TA from the cover of a car magazine back in the 90's. That thing was incredible. Incredible speeds for a door-slammer.

Gale Banks is the strongest man of the diesel world.

From 16:57 ish on for the next min or two were super enlightening for me. For one I thought cars kick out the tcc when you apply brakes to help deceleration but now I see that only builds heat 🤘🏻I also never thought of the clutches needing more line psi and being worked backwards. Like a diff is meant for strength forward, not backwards so much. Always learn lots from Gale. Last of the true hotrodders imo. I think big daddy is still around but not sure. Not a good comparison so wasn’t trying to do that ✌🏻

I was so lucky to spend 15 years in the USA. What is making the USA different from other countries is the urge to innovation. Everything from cars, engines, software, etc, etc. I am proudly driving a Tesla here in Norway (EVs have no tax) but I still love to check in on what is going on back in the USA. Great video. It is fantastic to see all the knowledge in action.

I didn't realize Gale was so tall. To stand next to Brian and not look like a munchkin is not something to shrug off.

Amazing stuff, love Brian as well.

I love all the Banks stuff, including my 7.5l Stinger bundle on my '96 F250! Now, I'm just waiting for them to continue production of their Torque Tube headers.

This video just farther solidifies my LOVE for Gale Banks and Banks Power. Well done.

The only thing Gale Banks lacks is marketing. I never knew he had so many products! Not just this video, but all of them. Love it!! He's the man!

I love the 7.3 excursions, this thing is perfect 🤌

I would love to see this type of series continue. Donate a build to first responder/military...etc...

I remember reading about the Banks GTA land speed car while they were breaking those records in the eighties. The important part is they hit 277mph in a stock body car, no extra aero mods besides lowering it and the obvious hood bump to contain the twin turbo engine. They picked the TransAm specifically because it had the best aerodynamics of the era. At those speeds aero IS horsepower saved, it’s an incredible accomplishment.

Two super fantastic utubers .

I wish Banks still made the kit for the old School GM 6.5 Turtle diesels. I had a 6.2 turboed with his kit on there back in the late 80's, and sold the kit off my blown up 97 CCLB 6.5 TD, I still own that truck, and wished I had a kit to bolt on to it. Its Stockish, with a big fuel upgrade and cooling upgrade, still a turtle, but tows our SXS and hauls the slide in pretty good with only 225hp

YEAAA ✨👑💯 HE WENT WITH THE MAN GALE BANKS

I wish we could get a whole series on the business history. Because I'm sure there's tons of stories from every product launch or how much of a pain in the ass making "the first" aftermarket turbo kits was. Cause it's easy to make something work on a couple cars...whole different game to make something for the general public to DIY.

I haven’t finished watching the video yet. I’m almost to the end and he set up the Buick grand national V6 turbo system worked really good too. This is six in a row.Jim from Kennerdell PA I have a 91.5 Dodge just had the engine rebuilt by D&jmachine in Cambridge, Ohio those guys do really nice work anyway you guys have a nice day thank you Gail for your devotion to excellence

How fun! I'll tune in for more content like this.

Thank you Babies for everything you do because you are the MAN!!👍👍😁

Cool and crazy diesels. Awesome!!

Just saw Brian and his Expedition today. Both larger than life.

It would be a heart pounding experience to be in the same room with these 2 massive individuals. Both Legends in their field!

Nice to see how Banks makes their parts, looks like a nice place to work for 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I will say that I miss your podcast, Speed School. Perfect way to make my day go by a little quicker at work and learn something new.

Awesome to see how proud Mr Banks is of that C20

Banks was building 1200hp 454 trucks in the early 90s he’s a legend in the game

Bet the army isnt worring about all the EGR, SCR, DPF bs failing out in the battle field! Oh yeah, there isnt any of that bs to fail! "Do as i say not as i do!" Must be nice to not have EPA breathing down your neck! This is my perfect truck right here! Someday I'll get one of these nice Excursion, especially tuned up by Gale Banks himself! 7.3 power ftw!

Brians driving impressions would have been nice to see. Great video.

Don't care for Fords but that Excursion looks badass. Thanks, Mr. Banks and Mr. Shaw!

Love it!

We need this!

Just bought my first diesel pickup a couple months ago. Gonna buy a banks intercooler and ecotune from them.

I love the excursion they did great

I thought Dave’s auto was on another level This guy is on a different planet Being a mechanic guy admired this guy

That Excursion came out nice

That track truck is sick!

we finally got our 99 F250 with the 7.3 broke in at 260,000 miles. a few extra horses would be cool. been exclusively using it for towing our camper for the past 80,000 miles. 10mpg towing at 70-75 on the interstate.

I love that he can make all that power with a diesel and it doesn't smoke like a dodge.

Monitoring boost pressure? That means literally nothing. Don’t you know Gale, it’s all about the MAD!

That was a great watch

Legends, both of them!

Great work!

To the Excursion, which was, and is, such a badass ride.... I don't like the new black wheels compared to the stock polished and machined aluminum ones. New meatier tires, absolutely, on the stock wheels, yup, the awesome Bilstein suspension, yes... super thrilled about that, especially with it being Bilstein and not Fox, King, or any of the other "popular" shocks, especially when Bilstein knows their 💩 and creates some of the best on and off-road suspension, yet nobody knows they make off-road goodies.... and I'm of course, especially cool with the power and drivetrain upgrades.... just I think the stock polished and machined aluminum wheels with the better tires would've been cooler, fitted the paint scheme better, and kept it more classy..... it's mainly the black with that paint, a set of 16-20" polished aluminum wheels with 35-37" tires would've also looked good, or at least, better.

I wonder if Gale Banks is messing with dimpled pistons in his diesel builds?

Brian needs to put a MOVE Bumper on that truck! You guys did a great job! Absolutely awesome!

0:35 Damn, that keg glanced off his shoulder

A supercharged diesel is next level. I would never thought of that kind of combo. I bet that thing rips.

Gale is the MAN!

Damn.... Next mods for my 2000 7.3 for sure.

Love the videos! Now when are you gonna have the Monster exhaust available for my 2024 DMax 3500 SRW?

The best of both worlds.

Gale is an AMERICAN TREASURE!!!

When power meets torque 💪🏻💪🏻

I hiked PP in 2012 and ate one of those donuts. Total ass kicker.

Gale I would love to see your version of a super stock pulling tractor

Hey Banks do you think you will build a hot and cold side charge pipes for a 6.7 powerstroke? My 22 F350 powerstroke has your air intake and 5” monster exhaust and banks dash but I’m missing some banks charge pipes 😉

Living legend

Gale Banks is the GOAT!!

Gale we still waiting in the derringer for the 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins

Those tremor wheels are crappy chineseum. Banks dropped the ball there. All of his stuff is made in USA, so put some USA made wheels on that beast.

Amazing stuff ! ❤from 🇬🇧

He should install a coil over conversion up front

Gale Banks is a national treasure, and I'm not even from the USA!

Really neat build, but the front bumper seems out of place. I know it wasn't a Banks idea.

I would have liked to go for a ride with both of them

Never would I have thought I'd have seen this crossover lol

Another BADASS ride made better by the G.O.A.T.! Well done Gale, as always!

Kick ass truck

Mr Banks what are your thoughts on the revised 3.0 straight six diesel good investment or not?

Please re-edit the ending to feature the sound of freedom in that newly transformed diesel!!!

Brian "The Torque" Shaw 💪😁👍

I’m sure there are others, but I’d find it hard pressed to think of another aftermarket manufacturer that has such a high oem level of R&D in all of their products. You know that it’s going to last as well!

Would’ve been nice to hear the truck run 🤷🏼‍♂️

Do you have a video of a truck running the quarter mile with and without the exhaust tip

Heck yeah

Gale Banks doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves for what’s happened in history because of him.
