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 7:00 am and 5:00 pm

(PT). 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 adjustable by the

supplied Six-Gun switch.
Level 1 is stock. 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 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 1350º F for more than a few

seconds. Elevated EGT can damage the

turbocharger and the engine.
Also, the factory clutch or torque

converter will need to be upgraded to

an aftermarket unit that can handle

the increased torque and horsepower

of the higher levels. Failure to upgrade

the clutch or torque converter prior

to using the upper levels while the

vehicle is loaded may result in damage

to the factory clutch or torque.

Banks is NOT responsible for clutch,

torque converter and/or transmission

damage.
Note: Before proceeding with these

instructions, please carefully read

the DISCLAIMeR oF LIABILItY and

LIMItAtIoN oF WARRANtY statement

located on page 4 of

this manual.

1.

For ease of installation of your

Banks Six-Gun, familiarize yourself

with the procedures by reading the

entire manual before starting work.

This instruction manual contains 32

pages of text, and illustrations.

2.

Disconnect the ground cable from

the battery before beginning work. If

there are two batteries, disconnect

both.

3.

Route and tie wires and hoses

a minimum of 6 inches away from

exhaust heat, moving parts and sharp

edges. clearance of 8 inches or more

is recommended where possible.

4.

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; put the transmission in

park; set the hand brake; and place

blocks behind the rear wheels.
