Banks tries to destroy a duramax helped me learn

[DVT873]

Those vidoes are not really his best work. More marketing than anything. He may know a bit. In 1971 Volvo came up with the Lamba sensor more measuring O2 levels in the exhaust stream. He was already working with Volvo engines amoung others for offshore powerboat racing and jumped on sensor idea. He detests black smoke, calling it wasted fuel. His company is providing the engines for the new JLTV military vehicle.They start with a Duramaxx long block and provide the externals and the programming that runs it. Banks has provided marine engines for various parts of the special warfare community for decades. These engines pass a NATO durability test. Not a big deal in terms of commercial truck use but still a 400 hour continuous run. 80% at full load/power. Some applications call for 800 hours. Again not a big deal in terms of commercial vehicles.
In the 80s he helped Cummins in their development of the 5.9 in the Chrysler Dodge pick ups. I have listened to several long interviews on podcasts with him over the years. His "Speed School" You Tube videos are more representative of his work. "CFM is dead MAF is what matters". . seems like a good choice although I have not listened to it all the way thru yet. Quite a bit on density, humidity, MAf, NoX etc. "The Boost Gauge is Dead to me" is another.
Holds some Bonneville speed records. Built and sold turbo kits for the NAV 6.9 and 7.3 as wll as the 5.7 GM diesel. Has done quite a bit for somebody who doesn't know anything and is 80 years old. {link removed.}
