CAC Tube replacement?
Newbie to diesels. I have a 2006 Amarillo, 6.0L Diesel that I just bought a couple weeks ago. The blue CAC tube connector is leaking. I guess this is the hot side since it is right out of the turbo and before the cooler. Should I replace with Factory part, or one of the aftermarket complete tube kits. Or I think I have seen an upgraded part that Ford makes. Anyone have opinions on what is the best route to go? Motor is all stock right now except for the Bullet Proof EGR cooler. Thanks

A lot of guys seem to like these. You may want to get new clamps also.

X5 on RiffRaff, and a shameless plug for buying their metal cold side kit to match, but really only because four matching boots looks cool, it's not 'necessary'.

I have only seen one or two others in Clark County. One for sure in East County.
I am working on posting a Gallery? or an Album?, but seem to get stuck. Gets so far, then there is no button or menu to upload or whatever. Kind of confusing, and I am a GUI programmer. I did fix my thumbnail though.
