Product Details

Derringer™ Tuner with iDash 1.8 DataMonster™ Monitor by Banks®. Stops the competition dead in their tracks. Results in torque and power gains across the full operating rpm range, starting right off idle and marching to the shift point in each gear. Derringer is dyno calibrated to use multiple data inputs such as throttle position, rpm, vehicle speed, AFR, Knock and coolant temperature, just like your engine's ECU. Its microprocessor-based electronics are able to actively and safely optimize calibrations in real time. No competitive product does that. Derringer has six switched settings. Level 6 produces Best in Class performance and knocks you back in your seat. The Level 3 setting is for work use and has a great mid-range feel. When running Level 3 with a loaded work truck and/or pulling a trailer, your on-ramp merging speeds and passing times are greatly improved.

The electronics are enclosed in a compact housing which is easily concealed and communicates using B-Bus (Banks Bus) with other devices such as Banks iDash 1.8 DataMonster® or iDash® 1.8 SuperGauge. The Derringer connects in line with your truck's engine sensors. But, unlike others, it also connects to the vehicle's OBDII diagnostic bus connector. A CAN (Controller Area Network) transceiver chip communicates with OBDII or B-Bus allowing Banks microprocessor to talk with the vehicle. And, Derringer's special coolant temp watchdog prevents power addition when the engine is too cold or overheated. The Derringer also auto-adjusts power if knock occurs due to bad fuel. Maximum safe power is all automatic with a Derringer - you just choose your setting.

AutoRate®

Unlike the fixed tuning used by others, the Derringer calibration is continuously adjusting to provide you the peak possible performance under every driving condition. By utilizing the power of the OBD-II data, the tuner intelligently fine-tunes its calibration on the fly without you having to change its power level.

TransCommand® Active Transmission Safety System

In addition to AutoRate Adaptive Tuning, the Derringer utilizes key engine and transmission parameters to enhance shift performance and improve the longevity of your transmission. Because the competitors lack the essential OBD-II data, they always add power at wide open throttle—no matter what! This can cause excessive transmission slip, torque converter clutch slip and even 170 HP engine derates in order for the transmission to complete the shift. This harms the overall performance and degrades your transmission. The Derringer is meticulously calibrated and extensively tested to properly modulate power during shifting, optimizing performance and safety.

ActiveSafety®

The Derringer is the only tuner on the market to include ‘Active Safety’, an active failsafe system that utilizes bypass relays to smoothly transition your vehicle to stock power levels in the event of any trouble signs in the Derringer. The system constantly monitors various parameters at over 50 times a second to ensure that everything is operating as it should. If any competitive tuners lose power or fail in any way, they will instantly trigger a “limp home” mode where all power is lost and the vehicle dangerously slows to a crawl. If the same fault condition occurs to the Derringer it will gracefully remove its additional power and return to stock power levels without a hitch.

Big difference when pulling heavy
Banks combo gives me everything I wanted. It is probably the most effective. Pulling my 12k lb trailer was easy. Torque gain is serious.

Very Noticeable Power and mpg Increase
I am extremely happy with this programmer, I got it with the hope of ending up with a more even power curve and a tad more power and it did exactly that and more. The 87 tune is great and has noticeable power and increased my mpg by about +2 mpg, the 91 octane tune added even more fuel mileage and a crazy amount of power but doesn’t make me fear that the truck is going to fall apart due to the reliability aspects of it such as incorporating the ability to add your drive ratio, tire size, and allowing you to keep or remove the engine rev limiter and torque management into the tune, so even if it’s stock or built for racing it can keep it reliable at either extreme.

Not Very Good
It looked very promising at first. But when I plugged it in it didn’t even turn on. I don’t know if this is an defective monitor but it wasn’t worth the price.

This is a Replacement Module!
Be sure to order the right one. This one does not come with everything you need for the OBT2 port. Cheaper yes, but not correct product description.
