Banks Power Ford Motorhomes: (Gas ’97 - 05 6.8L V-10, Class-A (20-valve)) Power Systems- PowerPack, Stinger & Git-Kit Systems, (Class-A) '97-05 - Manual (Page 12)

31.
Unlatch the clamp that holds the
two halves of the air filter housing
together and remove the original
filter. Remove and discard the plastic
cover from around the air inlet of the
lower housing. Remove the lower
housing from the vehicle by unhooking
the rubber strap from the mounting
brackets and pulling the housing
forward so that the feet disengage
from the rubber mounting grommets.
32.
Install the Banks Ram-Air filter
housing in place of the factory
housing. Make sure that the mounting
feet fully engage the rubber grommets,
and the strap is reattached. Install
the Banks Ram-Air filter into the
filter housing. Reattach the upper
half, making sure the two halves are
properly seated together and latch the
clamp.
Note: The Banks Ram-Air Super-
Scoop may be installed in one of two
configurations. One method mounts the
scoop directly to the air filter inlet at the
bottom of the filter housing. This method is
the preferred method but can only be used
if there is room below the air filter housing
to accommodate the Super Scoop. The other
method mounts the scoop to the grille, or
directly behind it, and connects the scoop to
the air filter housing via a flexible hose.
To mount the scoop directly to the air
filter housing, follow the directions in
step 33. To mount the scoop to the filter
via the hose, skip step 33 and follow the
directions in steps 34 thru 38.
33.
Cut off the curved portion of the
Super Scoop outlet 1 ⁄
2
inch above the
edge of the inlet lip as shown in figure
6. Next make four saw cuts 1 ⁄
2
inch
deep, equally spaced around the cut
end of the Super Scoop outlet. Deburr
the cut edges to remove plastic chips.
Slide the modified Super Scoop outlet
over the inlet of the air filter housing,
aim the scoop inlet toward the vehicle
grille, and secure with a No. 64 hose
clamp positioned over the four saw
cuts. Proceed to step 39.
34.
Install the Banks Ram-Air hose
connector onto the bottom of the air
filter housing with a #64 hose clamp.
This part adapts the 3 1 ⁄
2
” outlet of the
filter housing to the 4” Ram-Air duct.
35.
Determine a location for the Ram-
Air Super-Scoop ® . It should be placed
as low as possible, directly behind
the grille, with the air inlet opening
pointing directly forward in the vehicle.
36.
The height difference between
the Super-Scoop and the air filter inlet
should be as great as possible, to
prevent any rain water not eliminated
by the water drain hole from climbing
into the air box. The curved outlet
section of the Super-Scoop may be
trimmed back if less bend is required
to make a more streamlined hose
routing.
37.
Once a location has been
determined for the Super-Scoop,
mount it using one of the methods
outlined below.
The Super-Scoop may be mounted by
several means. If the grille consists of
horizontal bars, or a perforated screen
heavy enough to support it, the Super-
Scoop may be secured using four 14”
nylon cable ties slipped through the
ears on the Super-Scoop and through
the grille. See figure 7.
An alternate method is to mount the
Super-Scoop using the four perforated
metal straps provided. These can be
bent as required, and attached to the
ears with the 1 ⁄
4
”-20 x 1- 1 ⁄
4
” bolts,
nylock nuts, and 3 ⁄
4
” OD x 5 ⁄
16
” id flat
washers provided. The other end of
the brackets may be attached to any
convenient mounting surface such as
the gravel pan, grille brackets, etc. as
required with #10 x 3 ⁄
4
” sheet metal
