Filter on a stick: a joke that’s not funny.
A filter on a stick is a bad joke. It’s wide-open to hot underhood engine air, and there’s no power in hot air! Ram-Air houses a giant lifetime filter in an enclosed cold-air box, which inhales cool, dense outside air—more than Banks’ competitors and up to 57% more than stock—for more power and mileage, lower EGTs and less smoke. And it's designed to not cause fault or error codes.
Ever since I have installed this my truck has thrown a P0107 code MAP sensor code. Anyone else out there with the Banks installed having this problem?

The filter is not an oiled type is it? I know with my K&N FPIK kit on my 5.3 gas it would pull a code because the mass air flow sensor got covered in oil. I had to take it off and clean off the sensor every once in a while.
I think it is an oiled type but I have not oiled it, I had a body shop do the install since it was there already for a lot of body work. Not sure if they oiled it too much or not. But it has been quite awhile since install and it still keeps coming up after I clear it

It comes oiled if they oiled it again it had to much on it and it sprays into the intake tube and will mess up your sensor. clean the sensor and see if it still does it.

I just used parts cleaner... Not sure if that is the right thing to use but it worked on mine. I would maybe even pull the filter out and clean it off with filter cleaner and re-oil it but use just a little oil dont get to crazy with the oil.
