1.
Before starting work, familiarize
yourself with the installation procedure
by reading all of the instructions.
2.
The exploded views provide only
general guidance. Refer to each step
and section diagram in this manual for
proper instruction.
3.
Throughout this manual, the
left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver side, and the right side to the
passenger side.
4.
Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.
5.
Route and tie wires and hoses a
minimum of 6” away from exhaust
heat, moving parts and sharp
edges. clearance of 8” or more is
recommended where possible.
6.
When raising the vehicle, support
it on properly weight-rated safety
stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety
precautions. Take care to balance the
vehicle to prevent it from slipping or
falling. When using ramps, be sure the
front wheels are centered squarely on
the topsides. When raising the front
of the vehicle, put the transmission in
park (automatic) or reverse (manual),
set the parking brake, and block the
rear wheels. When raising the back of
the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is on
level ground and the front wheels are
blocked securely.
Caution: Do not use floor jacks to
support the vehicle while working
under it. Do not raise the vehicle
onto concrete blocks, masonry
or any other item not intended
specifically for this use.
7.
During installation, keep the work
area clean. Do not allow anything to
be dropped into intake, exhaust, or
lubrication system components while
performing the installation, as foreign
objects will cause immediate engine
damage upon start-up.
8.
Save this Owner’s Manual as a
reference for system maintenance and
service.
9.
Banks recommends either a
Banks iQ or a Pyrometer (EGT) gauge
and Boost gauge be installed with
the Six-Gun Diesel Tuner to help
monitor performance and exhaust
gas temperature of the vehicle (see
part numbers next page). To further
increase engine life by lower EGT’s,
Banks also recommends installing a
Monster Exhaust
®
system (see next
page).
