Well I finally got my butt out to unit 6a today to drag my toyhauler home from Elk camp. What a muddy MESS! I would've done it yesterday, but I was having issues with the boot blowing off the intercooler pipe (several times).
I finally gave in, and took it into the shop. My worm clamp had given out, but they also saw that I had an aftermarket boot from Riffraff diesel, from when i upgraded to a bigger intercooler. The factory intercooler pipe, has a groove in the end of it, and so the factory boot has the same groove to match it so it won't slip. Aftermarket boots don't have that! Even though I've had it on there for 3 years, it finally decided it was time to slip. My mechanic made a custom O-ring that fit into the groove on the intercooler pipe, and basically made a spot for the clamp to NOT slip past......problem solved. And no more side of the highway repairs for ME!
Enjoy your weekend everybody

Hope everyone's doing well, been too busy to get on here much, and to top it off I've been sicker than a dog the last few days...
I'm working on getting my truck registered in this state (finally!), just bothers me that Arizona has stricter emissions laws than the Communist Republic of California! My truck is completely exempt in Cali!

I still enjoy the NO emissions testing up here in Flagstaff, I always have saved my muffler for the truck, just in case
