The Banks system is programmed for your rig. The programmer has the stock codes stored, so that if you need to take it to a Ford dealer you can use it to restore the original codes. I have also heard that the Banks setting may not pass muster with some emission testing - again programmer puts the stock program back. It can then be used to revert back to Banks.
So I guess I need to spend $325.00 for the programmer than ??, that is what Banks want's for a new one, the motorhome pass emissions in California where I bought it from dealer and pass here in Nevada as well, so I guess its in stock mode now, do I even need this programmer than, does it benefit anything..
Not a true assumption. The Banks programming may cause some MH to fail local emissions testing. Because yours passed emissions test does not mean it is not Banks programming. Take it to Ford or a Banks dealer.
The Banks Powerpack, which is what you described does have a chip.
Our 2013 Allegro, with V10 (3 valve) & NO Banks, has about the same power as our former MH, with V10 (2 valve) & with Banks Powerpack. I have no doubt that a Banks Powerpack would increase the power on the 2013. We are currently leaning to not getting a Banks, as this is pretty good power. Would not turn it down if it was installed for free.
