Official Banks Power 3rd Gen Tundra Discussion

While updating for oil pressure, can you add current gear and remove the + in the manifold pressure display?

 

Any update on the monster exhaust and ram-air? I’m getting the itch to equip my 24 with banks!

 

“LA” or “L.A.”??

I just saw this post today and was going to order some SEM with my purchase, I got the combo pedal monster with the iDash and no SEM color options were available for 3rd Gen Tundra's on the website, otherwise I would have ordered a can with mine.

 

Got the newest (and better fitting) single pod a-pillar mount. Banks is a great company that stands behind their products. Before and after pictures

 

What color dye did you use?

 

SEM 15183 Warm Gray. It is not a perfect match but it is super close to OEM, I am good with it. I put about 5 coats on it yesterday, let it dry 24 hours and installed it 15 minutes before posting.

 

No ETA yet on Ram-Air or Monster-Exhaust. However, I can tell you that the Monster-Exhaust will come first. I pushing hard to release it before summer.

 

We (Banks) are seeking 3-4 2022-2024 Tundra owners to test new PedalMonster stand-alone firmware that includes Reverse Safety. Please send me an email if you're interested. We will supply you with a test unit at no charge in exchange for timely feedback. If interested, please send an email to me at jtilles@bankspower.com. Include the following:

• Name
• Year
• Standard or Hybrid

UPDATE 4/15/24: CLOSED. WE HAVE ALL TEST PILOTS NEEDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!

I will update this thread when the slots are full.

these two guys Eddie and Ryan would be good guys to test this out, I would nominate them, HA.

 

Email sent

 

I do have experience with PC and BMS pedal tuners too

 

Email sent and already got a response.

 

ya, you are one of the guys here who actually knows what your talking about or if you don't doesn't talk out your ass.

Ryan is the most helpful and knowledgeable member by far, also doesnt talk out his ass.

for me, I have no interested in beta testing this on my 70K rig, but would like to read about it

 

Email sent prob too late but worth a shot.

no offense to others but it should be longer term members who will actually follow through and show back up and post the findings, etc. Not a newer member who's barely around

Ryan and Eddie, HA

 

@ToyFan do you know how well your ODBII slicers works with an AMP Research Powersteps?

 

I really wish that texture and color match was better. That pod would drive my OCD crazy every time I looked at it.

 

Just received and installed my pedal monster with idash. Great product. Pedal is way more responsive. I'm set at City Plus 4. Thanks for all the info here.
What is everyone monitoring on the idash? Haven't dug into it much.

 

Sent you an email Jay

 

Any issues running this pedal monster with a tune such as JB4 or Afe scorcher?
Is a pedal monster compatible with a JB4? Both use the OBD2 so I'm assuming there's a harness adapter to accommodate both?
Is there a better tune out there anyone would recommend?

Thanks,
Mike

 

I'm running a JB4 and will be testing one of these. I'll report back if I notice any issues.

 

Eddie, does the JB4 connect via OBD? If so, there may be data conflicts. To resolve this, you'll have to put the PedalMonster in NO OBD mode. This will deactivate its OBD communication, thereby allowing your JB4 to communicate with the ECM uninterrupted. The only downside is that PedalMonster will no longer know what speed or gear you're in. So, when you back up, it will not return you to stock pedal sensitivity. So, back with caution as you normally would.

 

Yes, any OBD splitter will work with PedalMonster and AMP steps. Here's ours for reference. https://bankspower.com/products/sensor-accessory-63735-universal-obd-ii-splitter

 

It can connect via obd, but doesnt have to in order to do its thing.

 

That's interesting. I wonder what data the JB4 loses when it's not connected via OBD. Rather, it won't know temps or pressures to backdown if the truck overheats. I'll buy a JB4 and give it to Engineering to fingerprint it.

 

What Ryan said. JB4 simply intercepts MAP data and fools the ECM by reporting lower boost pressure than actually being produced, thus the ECM ups the wastegate until it sees commanded psi.

From what I've been told by BMS, OBD2 data is used for fail safe measures...knock, overboost, egt, etc.

 

Thank you. I figured they are employing the same safeguard that we do in our Derringer inline tuners. We underreport FTP/MAP, etc... We monitor EOT, ECT, EGT, and Trans Slip. If anything goes beyond the factory safe limit, our tuners back down until the temps drop. Now, if you remove the OBD connection on the JBA, it can no longer monitor those parameters. That's why I was asking...
