Turbo hose blow off ??
Hi guys
I have a 08 f350cc sb 4x4 6.4l auto with 3.73 in the rear end. Today I was cruzin on the highway with my cruz control set at 115km per hour. O ya im Canadian I think it's about 60-65 mph , not sure though. And all of a sudden there was aloud pop and hissing noise to follow. Then the truck lost all power. There was no turbo boost at all. And no code. I limped the truck to the dealer that told me that these motors pass a lot of oil through the inner cooler and that oil cools and falls onto the turbo hose connections. Then they blow off at high boost pressure. So my question is is this true? And if so what can I do to prevent this from happening again? Oh ya the truck is totally stock other then a leveling kit and 35" tires. And only has 61600km on it.
Thanks Shaun
Sorry for the long post

Definitely true. One thing you can do is buy yourself new intercooler boots for Dieselsite. really good boots! 2nd thing you can do is a CCV delete to keep oil from circulating in your air intake system.

Second the recommendation for the Dieselsite kit. I picked on up and I keep it in my toolbox in the truck. Replacing one of the hoses isn't a big deal so I figure as long as I have the parts with me I can just replace it when one blows off.
Apparently the oil that circulates through the intake tends to be absorbed by the stock silicone based hoses making them softer and a bit slippery so they eventually manage to pop off despite the spring clamps used on them.

Last winter, my lower boot (the longest boot) actually popped like a balloon. That is usually the boot that pops off or fails completely since it is the longest & the lowest boot. If you carry extra boots with you, don't forget to bring extra spring clamps too. Just in case......

Right. I got the Dieselsite boot kit after that lower boot popped. I was just saying that if you keep an extra boot handy, keep some clamps handy too. Sometimes you'll lose a clamp when a boot pops off. Happened to me..... BTW - Double clamping is a good idea anywhere there's enough room to do so.

I would steer WAY AWAY from Diesel site boots. They are famous for coming apart and not something I would run on any of my trucks.
Here is why https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ite-boots.html
I recommend Riffraff Diesel boots and that is what I have on all of my trucks and I have never had one come apart on me and I am running a lot more boost then the average person to in my 6.4 60 psi+ and no issues.

Thanks
Thanks for all the great info on my problem. I looked up booth boots but I didn't see any listed for my truck through riffraff. Also what is A CCv delete kit and where can I get one. And will this kit through codes as my truck is not tuned.
Thanks Shaun

Just call Cay up at Riffraff diesel and he can get you squared away with boots. A CCV delete stops oil vapors from going into your intake and putting oil all through your intake track. No it will not throw a code if you do a CCV.

Third the recommendation for the Diesel Site, i blow so many of the stock lower cac hoses that i use to actually keep 2 extras with me at all times, Id go thru 5 or 8 a year. I actual know the ford part number by heart.....
My Diesel site hoses are going on 2 years with no issues running much more than stock turbo pressures.But i am going to check mine after reading that post.....

Good info guys, what does a set from RiffRaff cost and what tools does a guy need to change them out? I'm on the road a lot so I'll grab a spare set and want to make sure I have the right tools in my toolbox should I need them. Cheers

Highway traveling around 60 mph, I heard what sounded like a tire blow out then felt what was akin to running over a rubber trafffic cone. In looking thru mirrors saw nothing obvious. Pulled over, still saw nothing leaking and all tires were fine. Turns out the intercooler tube had blown off. (I was not towing anything and vehicle has just 10,000 miles on it) Though I have bumper to bumper warranty and even purchased thru dealership extended coverage I am told this isnt covered. The mechanics said they have only seen where 1 end of tube comes off. Since I didnt see any debris and must have run over what came off I had no "defective part to be found". Dealership and regional manager Erica say not covered. ?? Has anyone else had similar part completely disengage from engine? Horrible customer service.

I had a boot blow off once and it happened just as I pulled out to pass a slow moving truck. Sounded like a shotgun blast inside the cab. I pulled over and threw up the hood and pushed the rubber hose back in place and then drove slowly home where I could loosen the clamp and retighten it properly. It was so loud the truck I was passing pulled over to see if I was ok.
BTW ... they do not literally blow off. At least I've never seen such a thing happen to a stock truck. Rather its one end of a hose that pops off which allows air to escape. I think this is what the dealership was trying to tell you.
