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.

it on properly weight-rated safety

stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.

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.
CAUTION! Do not use floor jacks to

support the vehicle while working

under it. Do not raise the vehicle

onto concrete blocks, masonry
