Dear Customer,
If you have any questions 

concerning the installation 

of your Banks Six-Gun Diesel 

Tuner, please call our Technical 

Service Hotline at (888) 839-

2700 between 7:00am and 

5:00pm (PST). If you have any 

questions relating to shipping 

or billing, please contact our 

Customer Service Department 

at (888) 839-5600.
Thank you.

The Banks Six-Gun Diesel Tuner has six 

power levels that you can adjust with 

either the Six-Gun switch (supplied) or 

the optional Banks iQ Dashboard Pc 

(sold separately).
Banks iQ is a versatile device that gives 

you total control of your Banks Six-

Gun Tuner. With a touch of your finger 

on the bright, full-color LcD display, 

you can adjust power parameters, set 

system warnings and alerts, see vital 

engine functions at a glance, and more. 

Evaluate your changes by running 0-60,

, and

 mile performance tests. You 

can even scan, read and clear OBD II 

diagnostic trouble codes.
Banks iQ doesn’t stop there. It’s a true 

in-car PC packed full of extra functions. 

Listen to your favorite tunes, watch 

videos, play games, review Windows® 

Office documents, and more. 

Expandable and upgradeable, it comes 

fitted with a rechargeable battery and 

includes accessory cords. You’ll  quickly 

discover Banks iQ is the device you’ll 

use every day, both inside and outside 

your car.

The Six-Gun Diesel Tuner comes with a 

Six-Gun switch that has six selectable 

power levels. The Six-Gun switch is 

included in the Six-Gun Diesel Tuner. 

The optional Speed-Loader module 

can be added to the Six-Gun for off-

road use only to increase the power 

output of Levels 2-6. Level 1 is stock 

with or without Speed-Loader installed. 

Each additional higher level adds 

approximately 20% of the available 

power increase. 
To prevent damage to the factory 

transmission, Banks recommends 

that both automatic and manual 

transmission vehicles do not exceed 

Level 4 or Level 3 with optional Speed-

Loader while the vehicle is experiencing 

load (towing, climbing a steep grade, 

carrying a load, etc.). 
To use the higher levels of the Six-Gun 

Diesel Tuner while towing or climbing, 

airflow improvements must be made 

to lower the exhaust gas temperature 

(EGT) entering the turbo. The EGT should 

not exceed 1400º F for more than a few 

seconds. Elevated EGT can damage the 

turbocharger and the engine.

Attention! Before proceeding with 

these instructions, please carefully 

read the DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 

and LIMITATION OF WARRANTY 

statement located on page 2 of this 

manual.
