Default Banks Six-Gun??

Hey guys,

I have a buddy that has a 06 Duramax and he has the Banks Six-Gun on it with a FASS, water/meth injection, trans shift kit, and 5" exhaust. Here lately we haven't been too impressed with the Banks and his truck gets like 13 mpg. I'm a cummins guy and I read that you really dont stack anything with these duramax's. Do you guys think he should ditch the Banks and go with EFI Live or PPE? Also, what kind of numbers are you guys runnin on your fuel mileage with these trucks?

I would highly recomend looking at the new Edge Evo race. That is what I run, and they have proven to be nothing short of great for the 06+ trucks.

Let me know if i can help.

I still have a perfectly good BANKS 6-GUN with the POWER PDA that I removed when I put in my DSP5/EFILIVE. If you are looking for a foolproof way of turning up the power without having to worry, the BANKS is perfect. I would not put in EFILIVE unless you have done at least some trany work or have some self control.

If some one wants to buy my old BANKS 6-GUN w/EGT sensor, I am taking offers.
