I See We Drove Banks Off As A Sponsor......

[07stroker]

I have lots of Banks stuff on my truck and they fit and work perfect.. I have always said you get what you pay for so I dont mind paying a little extra for something. It's the same as buying a king ranch suerduty insted of a xl model, they both do the same thing. I have installed other brands and they didn't fit right and it was a pain, I have never had that problem with a Banks products. I'm not saying it's the best but it ain't the worst that's for sure.

If your an older person, towing a 5th wheel camper. Then I would recommend Banks for you. But most of us want a lot more then what banks offers.

Banks is great for the person wanting some more power, better fuel mileage, and to be safe. Meaning banks has a lot of fail safe into there products from what I have read and experinced. Which is great for someone that wants a bolt on upgrade.

I am buying a '97 (Gas) that has all the Banks stuff on it. I have driven this truck for a long time and it does fine other then the fuel economy!

WOW! All I can say is................wow! I'm very surprised @ all the mature answers everone posted. I was hoping this wouldn't be another .Org Fightclub Thread & was actually expecting some serious verbal assault from other members & thankfully, everyone who posted so far proved me wrong. It's good to see we can discuss stuff like this without it becoming a p1ssing contest. I'm also glad there are some people who agree with me on the whole Banks bashing thing. I do agree that Banks is expensive compared to his competitors who use the same material to make their products, but some of us use Banks & don't want to replace it with something else because we either can't afford it, or are made fun of by an ill-informed member who possibly bought all of his/her parts because everyone else told him/her to & wouldn't know the difference anyway. Some of us made our choice of buying Banks products from either wanting certain Banks parts, wanted a modest power gain, or just didn't know better. Whatever the reason, we still need support & help on what our rigs are modified with. I've noticed some people who've posted questions on Banks products either get bashed or have 0 replies & I don't think that's fair @ all. The same goes for anyone who has an Edge or BullyDog question as well. It's all about trial & error. Give these people advice----not an azz chewing, you know?

Yes usually anually

Banks hard parts are quality stuff. Noone ever bashed that. However what was bashed were their tuners

I love the Banks parts that I have on my truck. I agree that if you don't have experiance with a part or product you shouldn't be telling someone to use it or not use it!

In all due respect, Dave, people have bashed the hard parts. I've seen many threads that I never posted on just so I can sit back & watch the haters jump down OP's throats & go off about how much "Banks sucks, blah-blah, buy something else". It's true! 9 out of 10 times you see it. Before an OP even finishes typing "Banks" you've got 100 people already getting crappy on this person in unison. & yes, the Banks tuners were bashed. The thing that makes me really sick on that is OPs who are just looking for a little "umph" getting the get a DP or TW or SCT spiel when all the OP wanted was a little something above stock. Sheesh!

Whats up with the "no more Banks stuff" or "Banks delete mod" in peoples sigs? I don't see Edge or Bullydog delete mods.

These are probably people who've been bashed in the past for having Banks parts on their rigs & either put that up to hide that they're still using Banks, or actually spent even more money to get rid of the Banks stuff because they were rammed on a thread.
