I was working on my 6.0 today, looking for an oil leak. I found oil puddled up under the turbo. I just realized that the cac tube that connects directly to the turbo has a regular hose clamp on it and it was loose. I was able to push the hose back on to the turbo but it's obvious that this clamp will not suffice.

Anyone have the part number or know where I can buy these clamps? I believe I found it online at fordparts.com, but I want to be sure I get the correct one. 8287 (YF-2562) Ford Hose Clamp; 100MM, $18.99. Also, is there an alternative to OEM?

This is not a photo of my truck, but the clamp on the right is the one I need.

 

It's a T-bolt clamp and you can get them on eBay for probably a lot cheaper than Ford sells them for. Most places don't sell them locally unless they're a performance shop generally.

 

Thanks, I'll look around tomorrow. 100mm is about 3.9 inches or so. I'll be ok with 4" max clamps right? Do the silicone replacement CAC hoses come with clamps?

Ebay is much cheaper, but not sure I can wait. It's held up for 2000 miles or more since I've owned it, maybe I could wait. You think these will work?

It's hard to say. I would measure the OD of the coupler to be sure. Most places list the min and max clamping size so if you know the OD of the coupler you can just check to see if it falls in that range. The factory clamp might be 100mm but you need to know if that's the max clamp size. If it's 100mm max clamp then the 4" clamps would work because they do 3.5" to 4". Clamp sizes are always listed as the ID of the clamp. From what I can see those should work. I am looking into upgrading my CAC boots, tube, and doing new clamps as well as painting the tubes.

Yikes, according to Riff Raff, the turbo boot is only 2.75". I guess I need to measure mine to be sure. Thanks CPB1.

I just realized I was looking at fordparts.com for the wrong part. The part number is 6C2Z-6K786-AA. I'll call the dealer in the morning and see if they have one in stock.

 

No problem,

Yea I think the ones you are looking at are the small ones.

A lot of guys seem to like the Riff Raff Boots.

Yes, I will get the Riff Raff boots next. I want to do the CCV mod first.
