What blows my mind is how manufacturers don’t study this man and his colleagues engineering theories to make modern diesel trucks better for the consumer

[tunnelvisionday]

Gale is an American icon.. What an amazing life he's lead

[edwardman]

Shaw doesn’t understand one word that Gale says, lol, but he knows it means awesome things for his Excursion, and that’s all he needs to hear.

[ColeSpolaric]

I just knew the military contact would prevent us from seeing the engine assembly room 😆

[bobbyboykin]

Gale Banks is nothing short of an American badass. He has forgotten more about performance than all of those other bubba diesel channel bubbas ever knew. Awesome video and great work Mr. Banks.

[anthonyc]

I use Gale’s videos to teach my HVAC apprenticeship students about air density, refrigerant enthalpy, the gas laws etc. They almost always think they won’t get it down in the beginning but after watching Gale explain the way he does with the graphics and parts right there, they are shocked how they understand. Thank you Mr Banks.

Would Gale be interested in doing some videos on how he stays so healthy? His diet, exercise plan, stress relief, life philosophy. Imagine if he showed his blood work, VO2 max and all his vitals and then explained them as he does with engines. He could get thousands of men healthy and mentally sharper. Gales mental cognition at his age is even more impressive than his unbelievable physical condition.

I know that this is private and a personal thing to ask but it would be a great help to humanity. The modern medical system is the equivalent of black smoke spewing with the throw drugs at the problem and just telling us we are all shot by 40.

Thanks Mr Banks for all you do. As a veteran, those 6.2 and 6.5 were death traps. You have saved lives.

"You must be Brian"
No Gale, this is just another 6'8", 300+lb giant that could give some of your engines a run for their money.

Missed out not showing the driving reaction!

I’ve driven a JLTV in the Marine Corps for a bit on my first deployment. You can just send it.

[Bozemanjustin]

2:08 it's crazy, I can't believe I only found out about Mr. Banks in the last few years... He's literally been making hot rods since before even my father was born

[rolandtamaccio]

Like, 200 horse retardation power, i.e. exhaust brake . The converter lockup and clutch tightening while engaged is pure genius .

[ryankosciesza]

I love that he can make all that power with a diesel and it doesn't smoke like a dodge.

[patbullard]

Mr. banks, you are a visionary automotive genius. Thank you for your research leading to the vast improvements in the diesel industry. You bring us stuff that we didn’t know we needed until you have proven that we need them because they make the industry better.

[pudermcgavin]

Banks is what true tuning is! He is a freaking legend would love to see them step a bit into the smaller displacement stuff as well! Beyond the data monster ect!

[tdotw]

Bet the army isnt worring about all the EGR, SCR, DPF bs failing out in the battle field! Oh yeah, there isnt any of that bs to fail! "Do as i say not as i do!" Must be nice to not have EPA breathing down your neck!

This is my perfect truck right here! Someday I'll get one of these nice Excursion, especially tuned up by Gale Banks himself! 7.3 power ftw!

[brianbranham]

I'd kill to own the truck but I'd give it up in a heartbeat to meet Gale Banks and have the opportunity to walk around and talk with him. So much knowledge within that man. Great job!

[josephmatuszak]

G. Banks has been a long time inspiration to me. The man is an absolute legend when it comes to making power from and ICE engine.

[tk]

Gale Banks, he's the best, he's the man ❗️

[guyforlogos]

I remember reading about the Banks GTA land speed car while they were breaking those records in the eighties. The important part is they hit 277mph in a stock body car, no extra aero mods besides lowering it and the obvious hood bump to contain the twin turbo engine. They picked the TransAm specifically because it had the best aerodynamics of the era. At those speeds aero IS horsepower saved, it’s an incredible accomplishment.

[xtfxChallenger]

Brain Shaw is an amazing person! Very humble! Awesome job Team Banks!
