No I did not get that info but I would assume they are because they have a 427 in the rail and claim it spins 8000 rpm

I am not knocking you mikey, banks is making some good stuff, just there marketing, price, and outlook on the rest of the diesel world just sucks. I am not sure how much stuff they or is a relabled product. There damper looks a lot like a fluid damper, just socals look like ati damper.

I was told at the sema show that banks did not get the government contract and went with Cummins because of their reliability.
Again, I'm just a messenger.

According to my source that crank setup was part of the marine engine program a few years ago. Funded by the navy, paid for by the taxpayers. Banks didn't get the contract.

:rofl: every time a banks thread pops up man you know what is going to happen. I do honestly believe banks makes good products, but he is targeting rich folks and the govt contracts. Which is fine more power to you if you can afford his stuff

I look at it more like we need to follow the leader when we design and make the stuff we can afford. I thank Banks for helping the whole Duramax community as I really appreciate their workmanship.

I don't think banks bad mouthing the entire aftermarket diesel industry is helping anyone??? And I certainly don't consider him a leader in the industry the men like rob mark guy pat fingers these guys were there from the beginning of the duramax performance gold rush.

If gale is gonna bad mouth everyone for runnin dirty tunes I challenge him to make c set of pistons last more than a pass
