7.5L Ford MH: PowerPack

2008-11-06

It performed very well for us on our trip to and from Alaska...

The Banks system we purchase in 2006 for our 1997 Rexhall (Ford 7.5 liter V8) performed very well for us on our trip to and from Alaska last summer and continues to do well.  We are very pleased with the added power and, when I can control my right foot, added fuel economy.  Have not had to tighten a single bolt, nut or anything.  I read a lot about alternatives like Thorley and Gibson systems on some of the RV forums, but can truthfully say that, if people could experience the quality and performance of a full Banks PowerPack, they would realize the difference is more than just price.

Thanks again -  A very happy customer.

Best Regards,
