96450 v.9.0
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 1400º F for more
than a few seconds. Elevated EGT
can damage the turbocharger and the
engine.
Attention!
Before proceeding with these
