Official Banks Power 3rd Gen Tundra Discussion

It’s the second gen version. The fit it great, just need to bend that ear in a bit.

 

@ToyFan - Is there a date for the next iDash firmware release? Looking to have oil pressure, current gear and convertor locked added to display for '23 Tundra Hybrid application. Currently on iDash_6288X_05_1_24_0, it does not have the coverage.

 

How did you run the wiring to be out of sight? Down the A-piller behind the grab handle to OB port? Still confused on how to hide the wiring?

 

That’s it exactly - you have to remove the grab handle to drill it in a particular spot using a step bit that comes with the gauge pod from Banks. Remove the grab handle, then remove the A pillar trim piece, fish the wires up from below the dash and bring them up along the A pillar. Then you pull them through the hole drilled in the grab handle and then into the pod.

Last I knew, Banks had a video on their website that shows the installation steps. If it’s still there, it should be helpful to see the steps before you start.

 

Thank you!!

Is there a way to change the values for tire size input for the speedometer adjustment? I’m on 37’s but couldn’t figure out how to input the new tire size as 37x12.50. I had to convert it to 315/80r17 but I’m not sure how precise that was.

 

@ToyFan Is the Pedal Monster available for the 2024 Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid? The Pedal Monster does not come up on the bank's website under my vehicle, only accessories. Would like to purchase but want to be sure it's compatible.
Thank you!

 

It should as it works on my '24 Hybrid. Being a TRD Pro shouldn't matter.

 

I've got one on my '23 TRD Pro, and it's awesome.

 

Installed on my 2024 TRD Pro. All I can say is, wow! What a great investment. Pretty much eliminated all the wow and flutter in the pedal. Positive feedback throughout the power band. So much more control over the pedal response driving experience.

 

I’m just curious but what is wow and flutter in the pedal , I don’t understand?

 

The wow and flutter I describe on my pedal interaction is just that. When I press the accelerator pedal, it just seems like there’s a lot of lag, fluctuation, i.e. flutter,. Not a really positive pedal interaction on my part. With the Banks upgrade, it just feels like when I press the pedal truck Accelerates more to my pedal feel and when I let go the pedal, it has the same positive reaction. Stock pedal seem to be a lot of gray area in acceleration and letting off the pedal.. Hope this helps. That’s just my perspective. But I feel it’s a Positive improvement to my driving experience. More connected if you will. The way banks describes it is it’s pretty much just sending the signal of acceleration and acceleration to the computer faster than the OEM pedal interaction. This is just my take, no scientific data.

 

Does the double unit block the defroster vent at all?
Anyone with the JBL system, did you notice any change in sound being that it's right near the speaker in the pillar moulding?
Has anyone tried using it for non Banks gauges?

 

I’ve got a question for the Trd pro guys. I have a 23 pro. If you have the banks connected and set up in normal drive mode, what happens if you put it in sport mode?

 

24 Pro here. Definitely more "sporty" when both banks sport & truck sport mode is used. For giggles, I tried banks track and truck sport....OMG hold on to your steering wheel

 

Ok to the guys running the banks pedal monster, is it really worth it? I’ve been so close to pulling the trigger. There is a guy selling one in the market place and his reason is he was using such a low setting it wasn’t worth it. Does this eliminate the dead pedal/pedal lag?

 

Yes it flattens out the curve, depending on the setting you use. I have one but it’s currently off, had mine in for warranty work and just haven’t put it back on. It’s definitely worth it if you get a good deal on it too.

 

Did Banks stop sale on the pedal monster for the 3rd gen tundra?
The Banks website says "There are no compatible parts in this category for your vehicle"

 

Prolly didn’t want to get blamed for blowing up a motor with a bearing issue?

 

I communicated with banks last week, and I don’t believe they stopped

 

It's just their website. It's kinda wonky. I thought that too, but searched for part a different way on the site, and the pedal monster does show up for the 2022-2024

 

Yesterday the Banks Power iOS App was updated with the following in the release notes: version 2.1.1: added support for iDash Pro. I couldn’t find any record of this new product on their site.

Jay, can you share any details about the iDash Pro with us? Hoping the existing iDash and new one can co-exist with pedal monster (one of each in a stealthpod). Excited to learn more. Thanks!

 

Got my idash installed. Must not have fully read the ins and outs- everything works fine but I’m disappointed that for “gear” it’s only D, R, or P. I’d really like to get to know how the truck works- when towing or carrying loads etc. cannot fathom why my 2016 Ram had all this information dash available and Toyota, while having the information, can’t make a dash screen so we can monitor while towing.

 

The Data Monster includes the ability to log and export data to a microSD card for evaluation on a computer.

 

Any updates on the Monster Ram intake? I had one on my 2013 F150 EcoBoost and it was a huge improvement.
Coincidentally, I also had the pedal monster on that too. Would a wiring harness be all that was required for a swap to my Tundra?

@ToyFan

 

The Monster-Ram is a cast aluminum goes before the turbo on the Duramax 6.6L and goes before the intake manifold on the RAM 6.7L. Or, are you referring to the Ram-Air cold air intake? If so, we haven't made much progress on it sadly. Regarding the PedalMonster, your Tundra has a different plug. However, for safety, the plug is soldered to the circuit board. So, it requires a new unit. Your Ford was a 64310 and your Tundra is a 64325.

 

Yes, got my nomenclature mixed up.

The CAI.

Thanks!

It's hard to keep all of our "Monster" names straight. Haha.
