Well it finally happened!
My filter minder grenaded from a very large Turbo fart. The noise and the light turning on scared me to death. I guess these 6.0's are problematic. 
replacement was $18.01!

its even better when you blow off a boost tube. i remember the first time i did it i had just replaced an injector for the first time. my stomach sank to my feet until i figured out what it was. then when my little bro got his 6.0 we did something under the hood and when we were done i purposly left the boost tube alittle loose to where it would hold for a min before it blew. needless to say he was about ready to crap out his heart when he heard the boom! atleast it was a cheap fix for ya!

I clearly remember my first Filter Minder grenading. It was shortly after my first tuning venture (Edge Juice) with the 6.0's, and the headgaskets were giving up. There was coolant EVERYWHERE.... the engine compartment, my AMP step, my shocks, the front diff and leafs, and... the Filter Minder! Only it was now in about 7 pieces. I knew immediately they were not impervious to hot coolant! I have kept a spare stashed ever since.
