A quick few questions.

I was just wondering where I can find that blue hose that connects to my turbo? Mine is leaking and I was also wondering what the name of it is?

Also, I have been reading about "bed plate" leaks. I was wondering where the bed plate is? Where can I look to check to see if it's leaking? I've been noticing a few stains in the drive way from my truck.

Any input would be great thanks!

Ford OEM is most conservative.

At least one shop (that slips my mind) sell an aftermarket set.

Be sure you have the upgraded clamps and torque them properly.

Try riffraff diesel performance for the boots i think a lot cheaper than stock, and i think you can get them in diff colors.

Your bedplate is shown below. Instead of individual crank bearing caps, the 6.0 uses a single cast iron cap block, which serves as a block extension. The oil pan attaches to the bottom of the bed plate.
