If someone has a source I'd sure like to know about it. This is a available for the 8.3, just not the 20+ year old mechanical 8.3.Banks Products for 1998-03 Cummins 8.3L ISC Quote Selected

Searched ebay and craigslist and could not find anything close. Quote Selected

Re: Risks adding BanksPower Reply #30 – December 25, 2018, 11:20:59 pm Chuck, they do not sell that kit any more as the company that made the tuner for them stopped making that one a few years ago. I asked them last time I was at Azuza factory if and when mine packs up how do I get a new one. Not a chance, so hope that it stays working.JohnH Quote Selected
Re: Risks adding BanksPower Reply #31 – December 26, 2018, 12:38:45 am Gale Banks made a boatload of money cleaning up poor designs for intake and exhaust systems. Just get it to breath and add a bit more fuel. My Donaldson air filter housing is poorly designed to maintain $$$$$ patent rights. Cut away the restrictive tangentual dirt separation housing and just let the filter hang out in open air inside of the compartment. Filter will "load" more evenly around the media without any high velocity inlet areas to collect excessive moisture, dirt, or snow and collaspe. Filter will last longer with lower restriction. Just an misapplication of an otr truck filter that was exposed outside. Worth a few hp to boot. Quote Selected

If your are speaking about the filter elements our coaches typically use, I've had first hand experience of how a big name filter can be absolutely crushed if wet. I was just lucky, it didn't get any leaks and dust the engine. It does not take any engineering skills to see the Donaldson is much better constructed and will be far more resistive to crushing if it gets wet.Pierce Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Risks adding BanksPower Reply #34 – December 26, 2018, 10:43:40 pm John, my filter housing is in a separate vented compartment with a large intake grille. Airborne particles must have a high velocity to remain in suspension, otherwise they just fall downwards due to gravity once inside the compartment. The misapplied large external metal can filter housing takes up most of the space inside the compartment and just raises the velocities inside the compartment and just promotes poor filter life and performance. As the engine vibrates at idle most of the heavier particles can now fall off to a safe distance to the bottom of the compartment floor. Any moisture can also dry out more easily while stopped.
