I personally have mixed feelings about my Banks Six-gun module. It certainly woke my pickup up, and did so with VERY little smoke. After installing it I was amazed that I could light the tires up at will. It also gave me a very nice mpg boost. The problems though, I could have easily made as much power with a cheaper module, or made tons more with a tuner costing about the same. Then there is the no start issue that just recently popped up. Of course it does it as soon as I am out of the country. I had my wife trying everything I could thing of to try and narrow down the problem. End result was I had her disconnect the Banks and try to start it. It fired right up and runs just as it should. So I had her put it back on and try again. It ran fine for a couple days, then once again, no start. So now I have an expensive paper weight waiting for me to come home and see what I can do about it. I have not heard of this from others though, so mine might be an isolated incident. Regardless I am less than pleased. My opinion is, when it comes to the tuners, your money is probably better spent elsewhere. I cannot speak for the rest of the banks stuff.
