Thanks for the info, sounds like my 7.3 IC will suffice until I need a new one.

How does the truck drive with blown ic

I blew my 6.0l ic while towing my 26' boat. I lost all boost and sent frags through my turbo. My 6.0 ic was held together with small metal clamps that did not hold. My aftermarket ic is all aluminum.

If by chance you think that your IC may not be up to snuff, you can have them cleaned out and it is often not very expensive. This will remove any gunk in there. Such as the CVC oil.

Sounds like a good maintenance item. Adding that to the to-do list. Thanks
