I have the same setup on my 2020 GMC. The boost tube connections are definitely a week point in the set up. Blew one apart on the driver's side. You have to crank those clamps down as tight as they will go and then keep checking them. Having to install the gasket on the air box is also not something Banks should leave for the purchaser to do.
Awesome real world review and after Impressions. It’s unfortunate you had some install pains with the blow out and subsequent ECM issues. But as anyone who wrenches knows, stuff happens. It’s funny looking back at the little things that are forgotten or glossed over during a first time install of a new product-vehicle combo. Something as subtle as the feel of torque on a single clamp can be the difference of maximum performance, or a blow out. But now more and more people know how, and that’s good for everyone.
I appreciate the feedback 🙌 That’s definitely what i wanted the take-away to be. “Hey don’t wanna be like that guy on RU-vid” lol. And double check those clamps are tight so more people get it right the first time haha
Great video,I purchased banks power Boost tubes & banks intake for my 2023 Duramax 6.6. 1/14/24 and I read lot RU-vid comments and they have checking engine light on. Im still thinking if I want to installed and have the same problem,your video is over a year old how’s works in your truck you have any problems at all? Any tips helps thanks
Ruffles, I tell you what I want to get these but I have seen So many videos where this happens. If you get them on and have problems, I’d like to know. Running a 2022 High Country L5P.
Thinking about taking all my banks stuff off. It’s once a week if not more that it throws the check engine light. Put a scanner on it and shows no codes. I’ve put 10k miles and it’s been more trouble than it’s worth. Regret buying any of it
I put the cold air intake on my 2020 duramax and now showing a check engine light, code POOC7, and in limp mode. This happened the second time I started it.
I got rid of those shocks a long time ago buddy. I threw them away. I heard about the recall but many just buy Bilstein 5100's from us to replace them anyways.
@@americanduramax I waited a whole 24k miles before the stock ones were leaking so I also switched up to the Bilstein 5100's. Night and day over the stockers.
So I've seen some comments that people have made regarding "getting it right" after having the tubes blow off twice, which is exactly what's been happening to me (3rd time just today), so what did you do to get it right? It seems to me that the tolerances are so tight that unless you have it up on a lift and can take apart some of the surrounding equipment in order to ensure essentially a perfect fit, they're just going to keep blowing off.
@@joeb.8625 I have no idea if Banks knows about it. It definitely makes the engine a bit louder/growl, the old resonator is to make the engine quieter so it makes sense it might cause this.
2018 2500. Running ram air, boost tubes, intake elbow, and diff cover. Absolutely 0 issues. Put everything on around 70k miles at 111111 now. Waiting for warranty to be over then delete.
Yes sir; i have one left in stock on our website scovelmotorsports.com ; if you order it now, ships today buddy. If you have any confusion, reach out to me on the contact part of the website and i’ll respond within a few minutes. Fits perfectly 2020-2023 GM HD trucks (chevy/gmc)
@@americanduramax I forgot all about it with everything else going on. I would still like to get the custom single custom pillar [pod, but did not see it on the Scovel website. If you still have one please let me know.
none of this should void any type of warranty. the dealers i have worked with over the years seem to understand this too. for example. an larger intake filter isn't the cause of a failed transmission. typically this seems to work out just fine
I'm not sure about that, Intercooler upgrades were popular on the LML's and other years of Duramax but not much talk on these yet. I dont think the companies who make them for these trucks have made them yet or they just haven't taken off yet in sales.
They are limiting factors as you add horsepower, they are dyno proven to add power if you have custom tuning especially. for stock, you get to retain power and cooling as you start to push the truck in towing or extreme situations
