More Than Just Horsepower: Why REV Outfitters Partners with Banks Power for Diesel Truck Performance Upgrades
When most people hear the name Banks Power, they automatically think: more power, louder exhaust, bigger numbers. And yes—Banks absolutely delivers on performance. But that’s only a fraction of the story.
At REV Outfitters, we choose our partners very carefully. Not just for flash… but for function, longevity, and real-world problem solving. That’s why we proudly install and sell Banks Power products. Banks isn’t just a “go-fast” diesel company — they’re an engineering company that happens to make vehicles perform better.
Big difference.
Think of REV Outfitters as not just an Off Road Shop or Diesel Engine Repair Shop, but also as a performance shop that will help you get the performance you need out of your vehicle.
Banks Power: Science-Backed, Data-Driven Solutions
What sets Banks apart from most aftermarket companies is simple:
They don’t guess. They test. They measure. Then they improve.
Banks uses full in-house R&D, dyno testing, data acquisition, and real-world performance metrics to solve actual problems on modern trucks and SUVs. Their goal isn’t just to add power — it’s to remove weak points, improve efficiency, and protect your vehicle’s lifespan.
Some of their most impressive “problem solver” and diesel engine repair and upgrade products include:
For hard-working diesel trucks, that’s a breath of fresh air when they need it the most.
✅ Oil Pans with Purpose
Banks’ oil pans aren’t just bigger — they’re designed for:
- Eliminating trapped oil from factory pan
- Increased capacity
- Reduced oil temperatures
- Better oil cooling
Lower oil temps = happier engine. It’s that simple.
✅ Intake Grid Heater Upgrade (Diesels)
A common diesel engine repair: Cummins owners know the factory intake grid heater can be a ticking time bomb due to the factory bolt that breaks off falling into the engine and causing catastrophic failure. Banks solved that with a safer, more reliable intake heater system designed to prevent failures while maintaining cold-start performance. Not only does it solve this but its also an upgrade increasing performance with a larger intake manifold. For extreme cold climates you can add a secondary intake heater for even better starting performance.
That alone has saved countless engines.
✅ Transmission Pans
Banks transmission pans improve:
- Cooling capacity
- Serviceability
Which means longer transmission life — especially important for trucks that tow, haul, and work for a living.
✅ Differential Covers
Banks differential covers are engineered to:
- Improve gear oil cooling
- Strengthen the housing
- Extend component life
- Add serious protection off-road
These aren’t “pretty covers.” They’re armor and cooling systems combined.
✅ Intercoolers, Boost Tubes & Cooling
Banks also designs highly efficient:
- Intercoolers
- Boost tubes
- Ram-air intakes
- Charge air systems
- Exhaust systems
The result? More air, lower temps, more consistent power — and less strain on your drivetrain.
Again… it’s not just about more boost. It’s about better boost.
100% CARB-Compliant Tuning – Zero Stress, Zero Risk
Here’s where Banks REALLY separates itself from the crowd:
All Banks tuners and power packages are 100% CARB-compliant.
That means:
- No emissions tampering
- No legal concerns
- No roadside anxiety
- No “will this pass?” panic
- No sketchy workarounds
You get real, tested, legal performance increases for both gasoline and diesel trucks — without compromising compliance or reliability.
At REV Outfitters, that matters. A lot.
Conservative (In a Good Way): Built-In Fail Safes
One of the most impressive aspects of Banks tuning philosophy is how conservative and protective it is.
Banks builds failsafes into every system.If any operating metric moves out of a safe zone, the system will:
✅ Automatically detune
✅ Pull power
✅ Bring temperatures and pressures back into a safe range
For diesel trucks, a critical piece of this system is the EGT sensor (Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor).
If EGT’s get too hot—because you’re towing heavy, climbing steep grades, or pushing aggressively—the system instantly reduces power to prevent:
- Turbo damage
- Piston damage
- Exhaust component failure
- Head gasket issues
In simple terms:
Banks protects your engine even when you’re being hard on it.
That’s huge. And rare in the aftermarket world.
