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

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.
