The Banks Six-Gun Diesel Tuner has six
power levels that you can adjust with
either the Six-Gun switch (supplied) or
the optional Banks iQ (sold separately).
Banks iQ is a versatile device that gives
you total control of your Banks Six-
Gun Tuner. With a touch of your finger
on the bright, full-color LCD display,
you can adjust power parameters, set
system warnings and alerts, see vital
engine functions at a glance, and more.
Evaluate your changes by running 0-60,
1

4
, and
1
/
8
mile performance tests. You
can even scan, read and clear OBD II
diagnostic trouble codes.
Banks iQ doesn’t stop there. It’s a
true in-car PC packed full of extra
functions. Listen to your favorite tunes,
watch videos, play games, review
Windows
®
Office documents, and more.
Expandable and upgradeable, it comes
fitted with a rechargeable battery and
includes accessory cords. You’ll quickly
discover Banks iQ is the device you’ll
use every day, both inside and outside
your car.
The Six-Gun Diesel Tuner comes with a
Six-Gun switch that has six selectable
power levels. The Six-Gun switch is
included in the Six-Gun Diesel Tuner.
Level 1 is stock. Each additional higher
level adds approximately 20% of the
available power increase.
To prevent damage to the factory
transmission, Banks recommends
that both automatic and manual
transmission vehicles do not exceed
Level 4 while the vehicle is experiencing
load (towing, climbing a steep grade,
carrying a load, etc.).
To use the higher levels of the Six-Gun
Diesel Tuner while towing or climbing,
airflow improvements must be made
to lower the exhaust gas temperature
(EGT) entering the turbo. The EGT should
not exceed 1400º F for more than a few
seconds. Elevated EGT can damage the
turbocharger and the engine.
ATTENTION! Before proceeding with
these instructions, please carefully
read the DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
and LIMITATION OF WARRANTY
statement located on page 4 of this
manual.
