Banks Big Hoss Diesel Tuner

We would like to know if any of you Dodge Diesel owners have installed the Banks System on your truck and if you have what are the results?
We have a 1999 Dodge Diesel and are thinking of getting the system for more horsepower and better mileage. Please give us your thoughts.
Thanks

We have had it installed and I must say that the difference is incredible. It tows better, slows faster and we don't have to hardly use the brakes when going down hill. We lived in California when we had it installed. Paul took the truck in and they gave it the works. I must say that it was money well spent. They also put a 5 inch exhaust pipe on it. I drive most of the time now and I wouldn't be without it. Even when we aren't pulling the Monty it kicks in when it has to. Paul isn't here right now, but when he comes in I will ask him for more of his input. This is just from a womens prespective. LOL

I had the complete Banks package on my 7.3L, 2000 model Ford. It really made a difference in the towing and breaking. I would caution you however with regards to the increase in fuel milage they tout. It just does not happen. Common sense will tell you that if you pump in more fuel and air to make more power, the milage ain't going to happen. All in all I was satisfied but just wanted a newer larger cab tuck so we traded.
