I had juice (no attitude) and set T?H level 1 , Regular lvl2 or 3 and when ever I used the truck in T/H (ie hual a ton of lime in bed), unloaded and truck wouldn't start??http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif I unhooked the Juice, started truck http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif,shut down and reinstalled restared with out problems until I went into T/H again and same thing happened.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif.I sent the Juice back http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gifand recieved my refund http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifas this happened with in 30 days of installation.. I am interested in the Banks 6 Gunhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif and have tried to research at the Banks web site but I still have a couple of questions. 1. What are the power gains at each setting?? ( Hp not %)...2. Is the same gain in T/H as regular?? 3. I am driving around and pull up next to XXXX Can I reach own and adjust to the highest lvl?? 4. can you set from one levl to another while driving down the road?? Thanks for any info...

1. I'll post what I got tomorrow for levels 3 and 6 (that's all I've tested but may do all 6 this Saturday).


2. Same gain in my experience. Never been told of anything different.


3. Yes.


4. Yes.


My testing was with the 'Race' version of the 6 Gun. Haven't towed with it yet but did with the standard version and was happy with it.

I have a slightly used Six Gun/Speedloader for sale. It is the original version.

might as well give it a shot.the six gun is really geared more for towing applications anyways as most have indicated.I have had no issues whatsoever with mine and I run up and down through the levels all the time.Been very satisfied with it so far

The Edge and the 6 Gun get most of the press around here. I did a search and there are a few people running the Vanaken box but it sure doesn't get discussed very much. Are there any comments on the relative merits of the VA box vs the other 2 more common upgrades?

Here's what Banks advertising says it gains on each level...


Level 1 = stock


Level 2 = (25hp) (51hp sl)


Level 3 = (51hp) (77hp sl)


Level 4 = (77hp) (102hp sl)


Level 5 = (102hp) (128hp sl)


Level 6 = (128hp) (155hp sl)


New version pulls much stronger than version 1. I'm very happy with it. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

David, I think you and BADDMAX396 need to talk. He is not happy with his Juice and you are not happy with your 6 gun, think you guys need to trade.

GMC2500HD, I think you have it backward.. I am not happy having to diconnect the juice every time I used T/H.. I was happy when it worked.. I am asking a quetion about a 6 Gun as they were not out when I experienced my issues with juice.. I may give juice another try but since there is another program that "is suppose to protect the transmission ", I thought I'd try to some info from people that are useing the 6 Gun...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif

horror stories have ranged from smoked transmission that my Buddy experienced personally on his 02 to less detramental starting issues,injector damage etc.
