For ease of installation of your
Banks Big Hoss Bundle, familiarize
yourself with the procedure by
reading the entire manual before
starting work.

The exploded view (pages 8-9)
provides only general guidance. Refer
to each step and section diagram in
this manual for proper instruction.
3.
Throughout this manual, the
left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver’s side, and the right side to the
passenger’s side.
4.
disconnect the ground cable from
the battery (or batteries, if there are
two) before beginning work.
5.
Route and tie wires and hoses a
minimum of 6 “ away from exhaust
heat, moving parts and sharp
edges. clearance of 8 “ or more is
recommended where possible.
6.
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. Caution! Do not use
floor jacks to support the vehicle
while working under it. Do not
raise the vehicle onto concrete
blocks, masonry or any other
item not intended specifically for
this use.
7.
During installation, keep the work
area clean. do not allow anything
to be dropped into intake, exhaust,
or lubrication system components
while performing the installation, as
foreign objects will cause immediate
turbocharger and/or engine damage
upon start-up.
